plops / play_with_clasp

Build and play with clasp common lisp on Linux AMD64. You can download the compiled release.

• Synopsis: I want to try the clasp common lisp implementation. First I describe how to build it on Gentoo. Then I discuss how to install it on Fedora (with the gentoo llvm and clang libraries).

• building (on gentoo)

• install quicklisp (i already had ~/quicklisp from my sbcl install)

  clasp --load ~/quicklisp/setup.lisp
  (ql:add-to-init-file)
