Re: [armedbear-devel] [PATCH] build-from-lisp.sh

The following makes it possible to build ABCL from the command line directly:

./build-from-lisp.sh sbcl

./build-from-lisp.sh clisp

I think you missed your patching of "build-abcl.lisp" with a top-level call to BUILD-ABCL (which you mention in your patch of README) right?

I'm a little reluctant to patch 'build-abcl.lisp' in this way, as it mutates the behavior of the "BUILD-ABCL" ASDF definition contained in "abcl.asd" to always begin executing the build process at 'ASDF:LOAD-OP time. Couldn't we either a) evaluate a (BUILD-ABCL) form after the load or b) create another Lisp file (like "do-build-abcl.lisp") that loads "build-abcl.lisp" and then evaluates the top-level load?
