CLBuild rocks.

It does. I’m not entirely it’s an active project these days, but I’ve been using it to get up and running with clozure. Getting clbuild to work with clozure involved a bit of jiggery-pokery, however. Basically what I needed to do was:

  • Switch the svn url in implementations to point to an architecture-specific release
  • ./clbuild update ccl
  • Manually (re)build ccl
  • Put the following into clbuild.conf:
    DEFAULT_LISP_IMPLEMENTATION=ccl
    CCL=/home/alex/clbuild/source/ccl/lx86cl64

...and that's it. ./clbuild slime does what I want, and I haven't found anything that breaks ./clbuild install yet.

I'm cutting my teeth on a twitter client library (because yes, the world does need another one, damnit) which I will either a) post to github, or b) bury under the blissful outpourings of /dev/rand.
