Prequisites

Msys2

Emacs

quicklisp

local-projects

We are going to use version that is not part of quicklisp. In local project place neccesary code executing the below example in a Msys2 terminal.

cd c:/Users/IEUser/quicklisp/local-projects/
git clone https://github.com/Ferada/cl-cffi-gtk.git

Example project

cd c:/Users/IEUser/
git clone https://github.com/bigos/Pyrulis.git

build script

touch ./lisp-starter.lisp

(push #p "c:/Users/IEUser/Pyrulis/Lisp/cairo-snake/" asdf:*central-registry*)
(ql:quickload :cairo-snake)
(cairo-snake::main

libraries

In power shell run

PS C:\Users\IEUser> sbcl --load .\lisp-starter.lisp

And you will see missing dll errors. So run pacman to install the relevant libraries, copy the dll files from c:/msys64/mingw32/bin to the folder where sbcl executable resides and try again until you see the program working

Creating executable

touch lisp-builder.lisp

and edit it

(push #p "c:/Users/IEUser/Pyrulis/Lisp/cairo-snake/" asdf:*central-registry*)
(ql:quickload :cairo-snake)
(sb-ext:save-lisp-and-die "c:/Users/IEUser/snake/snake.exe" :toplevel #'cairo-snake::main :executable t)

generating executable

In pwershell run

PS C:\Users\IEUser> sbcl --load .\lisp-builder.lisp

You will get an error because we do not have the snake folder yet. Create it and try again.

Now you have executable created. Run it and enjoy.
