save-image-with-bundle 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 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 in save-image-args 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.
