7.4.2 Compiling and Loading Foreign Code with the Editor

1. Open the file test.c in the LispWorks Editor. Note that the buffer is in C Mode, indicated by "(C)" in the mode line.
2. Use the menu command Buffer > Compile , or equivalently run Meta+X Compile Buffer .
3. Your C file is compiled with the same options as lw:compile-system would use, and the object file is loaded. The output file name is printed in the Output window. It is written in your temporary directory (usually that given by the value of the environment variable TEMP ).
