I was reading over the install instructions, and since I have to install ABCL on multiple platforms, I thought I would automate the process (at least for Mac and Linux).
The approach I have taken requires the use of "stow", to get all the bits of ABCL where you want them, and critically automates getting the paths right.
Attached please find (1) a Makefile that automates the construction of the "abcl" executable script, the abcl rlwrap completions, and the installation in preparation for the use of "stow". (2) an "abcl_template" file that the makefile will modify so that it can find completions and jar files (both the main one and the contrib). (3) an abcl_completions.lisp file that writes the completions. Adding them to the abcl-1.4.0 directory from the tarballs lets you do this:
make prepare-install sudo make install cd /usr/local/stow sudo stow abcl
