$ 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=4Gb
+ $ sh make.sh --dynamic-space-size=800Mb
+
+ If mega- or gigabytes are not specified, the number is taken to be
+ in megabytes. The standard default is 512Mb for 32-bit systems, and
+ 1Gb for 64-bit systems (with the exception of OpenBSD where 444Mb
+ are used to fit under default ulimits.)
+
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
enabling or disabling features like documentation strings, threads,
or extra debugging code.
- The preferred way to do this is by creating a file
- "customize-target-features.lisp", containing a lambda expression
- which is applied to the default *FEATURES* set and which returns the
- new *FEATURES* set, e.g.
-
- (lambda (features)
- (flet ((enable (x)
- (pushnew x features))
- (disable (x)
- (setf features (remove x features))))
- ;; Threading support.
- (enable :sb-thread)))
+ The preferred way to do this is using commandline arguments to make.sh:
- 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
+ :SB-THREAD (--with-sb-thread, --without-sb-thread)
+
Native threads. Enabled by default on x86[-64] Linux only, also
- available on x86[-64] Max OS X, x86[-64] FreeBSD, and x86
- Solaris.
+ 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.
+ NOTE: --fancy enables threads on all platforms where they can be
+ built, even if they aren't 100% stable on that platform.
+
+ :SB-CORE-COMPRESSION (--with-sb-core-compression)
+
+ Adds zlib as a build-dependency, and makes SBCL able to save
+ compressed cores. Not enabled by default.
+
+ :SB-XREF-FOR-INTERNALS (--with-sb-xref-for-internals)
- :SB-XREF-FOR-INTERNALS
XREF data for SBCL internals. Not enabled by default, increases
core size by 5-6mb.
+ :SB-UNICODE (--without-sb-unicode)
+
+ Unicode support. Enabled by default. Disabling this feature
+ limits characters to the 8-bit ISO-8859-1 set.
+
A catalog of available features and their meaning can be found in
"base-target-features.lisp-expr".
+ Please do NOT edit base-target-features.lisp-expr in order to enable
