Compiling the Hemlock source code is done as follows:
(setf (search-list "hem:") '("/usr/lisp/hemlock/"))
(load "hem:ctw.lisp")
Again, the first line defines a search list variable, so that ctw.lisp can find the Hemlock sources. As each file is compiled, the name of the file is printed on the terminal. For each file a .fasl will be generated. Also, a single error log will be generated in the file hem:lossage.log.
This step takes about forty-five minutes.
