How to run Compile from command line outside REPL ?

[Jason Vas Dias]

Good day -

  I am new to Windows and Clojure but not to Common Lisp (SBCL) and Linux C/C++  -

 

  I am trying to Compile some clojure on the command line, but I cannot seem
  to get Clojure to honor $CLOJURE_LOAD_PATH or   
  %CLOJURE_LOAD_PATH% in either a Cygwin bash shell

  or in CMD.EXE . 

  When I am outside $CLOJURE_HOME (which is

   C:\Program Files\ClojureCLR Release 4.0\

  ), where I copied the 'Release 4.0' directory from the
 clojure-clr-1.9.0-Release 4.0.zip file I downloaded ,
 I try to compile the file 'celsius.clj' copied from
 the $CLJ_HOME/clojure/samples/ directory, with the diff:
-(System.Reflection.Assembly/Load "System.Windows.Forms,Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089")
+(System.Reflection.Assembly/LoadWithPartialName "System.Windows.Forms")
in my ${HOME}/src/ directory:
       export CLJHOME="/c/Program Files/ClojureCLR Release 4.0"
       export PATH="${PATH}:$CLJHOME"
       export CLOJURE_LOAD_PATH=".:$CLJHOME"
       export CLOJURE_COMPILE_PATH="${PWD}/classes"
       export CLOJURE_HOME="$CLJHOME"
       export CLJ_HOME="$CLJHOME"

$ Clojure.Compile.exe celsius.clj

So I cannot compile when outside $CLJHOME directory - incidentally, could someone please tell me what the correct *HOME environment variable name is ?
- and when in the $CLHOME directory, I cannot compile your example celsius.clj program .  Please advise how to set up for building from any directory and how to get celsius.clj compiling and running under latest Windows 10 & Visual Studio 19
x86_64 installation .  I really need urgently to write some scripts for work which need invoke GUI forms and respond to their edits & buttons - SBCL would be my
preferred scripting language, but I need integration with C# programs and good GUI form support.

Any help advice on how to get my ClojureCLR setup issues resolved and how to
get celsius.clj to build would be much appreciated.

Thanks in Advance, Best Regards,
Jason
