emacs on windows, compiling
in [Lisp]
|
From: Haris Bogdanovi� on 1 Mar 2010 08:46 Hi. How do I compile a lisp file in emacs ? I tried some shortcuts I found on internet but it doesn't work. It comes to a command line saying : make -k, I don't have 'make' command. I just downloaded emacs for windows. Do I have to download anything else ? Thanks Haris

From: Haris Bogdanovic on 1 Mar 2010 13:56 I downloaded the source code for 'Casting spells in Lisp' so wanted to try that out. Didn't kniw that I can load a file so it's great, I can now test code I write. So there are few ways for interacting with code: evaluate expression in buffer, play with repl, loading code and compiling - is there some other way ? I use emacs lisp. Loading a file will do for now but I would like to know how to compile it ? I guess I have to download MinGW or something ? Can I compile this source code to run it from command prompt ?

Emacs lisp cannot be compiled. Well, okay, it can be compiled into byte-code, but that's not probably what you mean. It can't be separated from emacs anyway. Also, emacs lisp is an ancient form of lisp. One learns emacs lisp only if he's interested in programming emacs itself. Otherwise, learn common lisp (or scheme). (btw, there are Lisp IDEs, such as SLIME, that are *based* on emacs, but they are not for programming in emacs lisp). |
