concatenate-system output system &key force simulate sim source-only args target-directory t-dir script-p => result
The name of the required concatenated fasl.
The name of a system defined using defsystem.
Verbosity conditions, see Description for more detail.
Same as simulate .
If
t
, then all files in the system will be concatenated.
If
t
, the source files of the system are concatenated.
The directory to search for the object files.
Same as target-directory .
This function produces a single, concatenated fasl, output-file , from a list of individual systems (named amongst the args ).
Since concatenated fasl files may be produced in this way, you do not need to be wary of MS filename conventions if developing sources on UNIX for a MS Windows application. This clearly allows more freedom for naming source files. However, output-file must, in such cases, be a MS-Window-compatible filename.
If
simulate
is
nil
or is not present,
concatenate-system
will work silently. Otherwise, a plan of the actions which
concatenate-system
intends to carry out is printed. What happens next depends upon the value of
simulate
:
t
, the function does nothing.
:ask
, then the user is asked, using
y-or-n-p
, if the plan should be carried out.
:each
, the user is asked at each stage in the plan if the current action should be carried out. The responses
y
and
n
work as normal. If
e
is typed,
concatenate-system
exits without further processing.
If
source-only
is
t
, files will be loaded only if they are sources.
If, when searching target-directory for an object file, the file cannot be found, the appropriate source file from the system's default directory will be loaded instead.
