Manual Installation

[Nik]

Hi folks,

Is there any documentation for installing Weblocks manually!
I want to learn how to manage resp. install libraries/modules/
components
(or in Lisper's terminology "systems") and it is just a good starting
point
for that.

On the other hand, tools like clbuild can't be used on windows!
(I'm actually a unix guy! But sometimes one has no other choices!!)

Regards
Nik

LibCL (http://libcl.com) may be a good starting point - it has a large
number of the libraries you need, and it should be relatively easy to
add the missing bits.

I would recommend taking a look at any ASDF tutorials out there.

An outdated guide is found at http://nunb2.blogspot.com/ (read the
oldest post first) and it's geared towards unix, so it may help you
layout what goes where.

Note: usually .asd files are linked from a systems directory (somewhat
like /usr/src/linux-headers) to a source directory (where the .lisp
files are stored), and various Lisps may have issues with this on a
Windows platform.

Has somebody installed Weblocks on windows?

I know that some people have tried it, but I'm not sure whether
they succeeded. It's definitely a considerable challenge compared
to UNIX systems.

Also you need to use ACL, Lispworks or Clozure CL on Windows.

I have, and it was a roller coaster!

If you wanna know why I say it was a roller coaster, here is the
