$ 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.
+
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

+ --prefix=<path> Specify the install location.
+
+ Script install.sh installs SBCL under the specified prefix
+ path: runtime as prefix/bin/sbcl, additional files under
+ prefix/lib/sbcl, and documentation under prefix/share.
+
+ This option also affects the binaries: built-in default for
+ SBCL_HOME is: prefix/lib/sbcl/
+
+ Default prefix is: /usr/local
+
+ --xc-host=<string> Specify the Common Lisp compilation host.
+
+ The string provided should be a command to invoke the
+ cross-compilation Lisp system in such a way, that it reads
+ commands from standard input, and terminates when it reaches end
+ of file on standard input.
+
+ Examples:
+
+ "sbcl --disable-debugger --no-sysinit --no-userinit"
+ Use an existing SBCL binary as a cross-compilation
+ host even though you have stuff in your
+ initialization files which makes it behave in such a
+ non-standard way that it keeps the build from
+ working. Also disable the debugger instead of
+ waiting endlessly for a programmer to help it out
+ with input on *DEBUG-IO*. (This is the default.)
+
+ "sbcl"
+ Use an existing SBCL binary as a cross-compilation
+ host, including your initialization files and
+ building with the debugger enabled. Not recommended
+ for casual users.
+
+ "lisp -noinit -batch"
+ Use an existing CMU CL binary as a cross-compilation
+ host when you have weird things in your .cmucl-init
+ file.
+
+ "openmcl --batch"
+ Use an OpenMCL binary as a cross-compilation host.
+
+ "clisp"
+ Use a CLISP binary as a cross-compilation host.
+ Note: historically clisp hosted builds have been
+ frequently broken. While reports of this are always
+ appreciated, bootstrapping another host is
+ recommended.
