$ sh run-sbcl.sh
The following command installs SBCL and related documentation under
- the "/usr/local" directory:
+ the "/usr/local" directory (typically run as root):
# INSTALL_ROOT=/usr/local sh install.sh
$ INSTALL_ROOT=/home/me sh install.sh
In other words, "install.sh" installs SBCL under the directory named
- by the environment variable "INSTALL_ROOT".
+ by the environment variable INSTALL_ROOT.
+
+ If INSTALL_ROOT is not specified, SBCL is installed into location
+ configured at build-time: for official binary distributions under
+ "/usr/local" directory.
If you install SBCL from binary distribution in other location than
"/usr/local", see section 1.2, "Finding ancillary files".
$ sh make.sh
+ To configure SBCL to install to a non-standard location, you can use
+ the --prefix option:
+
+ $ sh make.sh --prefix=/opt/mysbcl
+
+ This also sets the default SBCL_HOME to prefix/lib/sbcl/ for the
+ built binaries.
+
+ To configure SBCL with a non-standard default dynamic-space size,
+ use the --dynamic-space-size option:
+
+ $ sh make.sh --dynamic-space-size=1Gb
+ $ sh make.sh --dynamic-space-size=500Mb
+
+ If mega- or gigabytes are not specified, the number is taken to be
+ in megabytes. The standard default is platform specific.
+
If you don't already have an SBCL binary installed as "sbcl" on your
system, you'll need to tell make.sh what Lisp to use as the
cross-compilation host. For example, to use CMUCL (assuming has
been installed under its default name "lisp") as the
cross-compilation host:
- $ sh make.sh 'lisp -batch -noinit'
+ $ sh make.sh --xc-host='lisp -batch -noinit'
The build may take a long time, especially on older hardware. A
successful build ends with a message beginning: "The build seems to
(pushnew x features))
(disable (x)
(setf features (remove x features))))
- ;; Threading support, available only on x86/x86-64 Linux, x86 Solaris
- ;; and x86 Mac OS X (experimental).
+ ;; Threading support.
(enable :sb-thread)))
This is the preferred way because it lets local changes interact
cleanly with CVS changes to the main, global source tree.
+ Some features of interest:
+
+ :SB-THREAD
+ Native threads. Enabled by default on x86[-64] Linux only, also
+ available on x86[-64] Max OS X, x86[-64] FreeBSD, x86 Solaris,
+ and PPC Linux.
+
+ :SB-UNICODE
+ Unicode support. Enabled by default. Disabling this feature
+ limits characters to the 8-bit ISO-8859-1 set.
+
+ :SB-XREF-FOR-INTERNALS
+ XREF data for SBCL internals. Not enabled by default, increases
+ core size by 5-6mb.
+
A catalog of available features and their meaning can be found in
"base-target-features.lisp-expr".
CMUCL
CCL (formerly known as OpenMCL)
ABCL (recent versions only)
+ CLISP (only some versions: 2.44.1 is OK, 2.47 is not)
+ XCL
+
Note that every release isn't tested with every possible host
compiler. You're most likely to get a clean build with SBCL itself
Supported operating systems and architectures:

by e.g. testing during the monthly freeze periods, and most
importantly by reporting any problems.
