Title: Running an executable on Linux
Post by: reinier maliepaard on May 08, 2018, 09:11:19 AM

Hello,

A minor thing about the newLisp documentation on running an executable on Linux. Given the following:

;; uppercase.lsp - Link example - from the Manual:

(println (upper-case (main-args 1)))

(exit)

---

;;make executable on Linux via command line:

newlisp -x uppercase.lsp uppercase

chmod 755 uppercase

uppercase "hello"

---

I think that it is more clear for newbies if the command uppercase "hello" is replaced by the command ./uppercase "hello" - only the latter with ./ does the job -as far as I can see.

If my observation is valid, then some modifications in the manual and some tutorials should be made:

- manual on newlisp.org ("Linking a source file with newLISP for a new executable")

- en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Introduction_to_newLISP

- newlisp.org/newLISP_in_21_minutes.html

Best regards,

Reinier
