By default Clojure has a fairly terrible wrapper to make it behave like a language with a REPL but no compiler. This situation is made even more confusing by the fact that the Debian and Ubuntu packages come with their own wrappers, clojure and clojurec which start a REPL and a stand-alone compiler respectively.
This project aims to produce portable wrappers to do the same.
These are:
clojure-repl - Wrapper to launch a REPL.
usage: clojure-repl [-h] [-cp classpath] [-mem JVM memory]
Clojure REPL
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-cp classpath Set CLASSPATH.
-mem JVM memory Set JVM memory.
clojure-compiler - Wrapper to launch the compiler.
usage: clojure-compiler [-h] [-cp classpath] [-warn] [-mem JVM memory]
[-dir Destination directory]
Clojure Compiler
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-cp classpath Set CLASSPATH.
-warn Enable reflection warnings.
-mem JVM memory Set JVM memory.
-dir Destination directory
Set destination directory.
The wrappers can be configured by editing clojure-wrappers.ini to set the $CLASSPATH and rlwrap options appropriately. By default it's set up appropriately for Ubuntu 18.04's Clojure package.
