Function

Summary

Saves a LispWorks for Macintosh image with an application bundle, thus allowing it to work properly in the Cocoa windowing system.

Package

hcl

Signature

save-image-with-bundle bundle-path &rest save-image-args &key bundle-arguments bundle-function &allow-other-keys

Arguments

bundle-path

A pathname designator.

save-image-args

Arguments passed to save-image.

bundle-arguments

Arguments passed to bundle-function.

bundle-function

A function designator.

Description

The function save-image-with-bundle first creates the application bundle using the function bundle-function, and then saves the LispWorks image in the bundle.

The default value of bundle-arguments is nil.

The default value of bundle-function is create-macos-application-bundle. You can modify the created bundle by supplying bundle-arguments.

With the default values of bundle-function and bundle-arguments, it copies the application bundle of the running image to the bundle path with the minimal necessary modifications, and then saves an image in it.

save-image-with-bundle operates as follows:

1. It calls bundle-function with the bundle-path and bundle-arguments, and then uses the result as the filename for save-image.
2. It applies save-image to the path derived in the first step and the remaining arguments passed to save-image-with-bundle (other than bundle-arguments and bundle-function).

Notes

save-image-with-bundle is implemented only in LispWorks for Macintosh.
