Title: Non-standard install and init.lsp
Post by: rickyboy on April 20, 2007, 11:54:00 AM

Hello all,

A warning if you don't already now. If you build newLISP and then install it in a non-standard directory (e.g. install via make install_home), you will *not* be able to get the init.lsp (the one sitting in your non-standard share directory) read in at startup. That is, you won't until you go back to the build directory and edit newlisp.c, changing the value of the C pre-processor #define macro INIT_FILE to point to the appropriate (in this case, your non-standard) directory. After this fix and subsequent re-build and re-install, my newLISP now reads the init.lsp file.

Hope this helps and doesn't confuse the issue. Apologies if this has already been covered.

Cheers, --Ricky
