The tools directory contains various lisp and C-shell utilities for
building CMU CL:
Will compile lisp files and build a kernel core. It has
numerous command-line options to control what to compile and how. Try -help to
see a description. It runs a separate Lisp process to compile each
subsystem. Error output is generated in files with “.log” extension in
the root of the build area.
Some lisp utilities used for compiling changed files in batch
mode and collecting the error output. Sort of a crude defsystem. Loads into the
“user” package. See with-compiler-log-file and comf.
Each system has a “.lisp” file in
tools/ which compiles that system.
