The intention of this project to provide a fulling working Lisp environment
that’s only a double-click away for Mac OS X users.
This package includes the following code items:
- Aquamacs
- SBCL (Steel Bank Common Lisp)
- SLIME (Superior Lisp Interaction Mode for Emacs)
- paredit.el
- redshank.el
- cldoc.el
It also includes the following documentation, all integrated with the Info
system (just press C-h i within Emacs to view them):
- ANSI Common Lisp HyperSpec
- SLIME documentation
- ASDF documentation
- SBCL user’s manual
There are also HTML versions of all documentation, and PDF versions of most
documentation, available in these two locations:
Ready Lisp.app/Contents/Resources/htmlReady Lisp.app/Contents/Resources/pdf
Everthing has been pre-configured for you to enable all options and turn on
all modes. If you wish to configure things, edit this file:
Ready Lisp.app/Contents/Resources/site-lisp/init.lisp.el
NOTE: 64-bit and threading support are not enabled in Ready Lisp, because
neither of these is officially supported by SBCL on Mac OS X (yet). If you
wish to enable them, you will have to build your own Ready Lisp from sources.
Fortunately, this process has been made quite simple for you:
git clone git://github.com/jwiegley/ready-lisp.git cd ready-lisp make
This may take quite a while, but eventually it will leave a .dmg file in an
image sub-directory.
To build with 64-bit Intel support:
make ARCH=x86_64
To build with threading enabled:
make THREADING=yes
To build a universal binary, assuming you have ssh access to a PowerPC box
named ppcbox:
make PPC_HOST=ppcbox
If you wish to update any of the sub-packages to newer versions, edit the
Makefile to select the version(s) you want, run git checkout <TAG> within
sbcl to select a release tag, and finally run make clean, followed by
another make.
