Once all the files have been assembled or compiled as described above, it is necessary to build a cold core file as follows:
(setf (search-list "code:") '("/usr/lisp/code/"))
(setf (search-list "icode:") '("/usr/lisp/icode/"))
(setf (search-list "msc:") '("/usr/lisp/miscops/"))
(load "/usr/lisp/clc/genesis.fasl")
(load "code:worldbuild.lisp")
The first three lines set up search lists for the code, icode, and miscops subdirectories. The fourth line loads in the program Genesis which builds the cold core file. The last line calls Genesis on a list of the files that are necessary to build the cold core file. As each file is being processed, its name is printed to the terminal. Genesis generates two files: /usr/lisp/ilisp.core and /usr/lisp/lisp.map. Ilisp.core is the cold core file and lisp.map is a file containing the location of all the functions and miscops in the cold core file. Lisp.map is useful for debugging the cold core file.
This step takes from about fifteen minutes.
