Example in ECL repository for static link
by Thomas Teixeira 20 Jun '23

20 Jun '23

Hi ! Thanks for ECL, I've been learning CL for the past weeks and it's my favorite implementation so far ! Would love to contribute one I've the required skills :)) I'm trying to create a small script that'll allow users to recreate a mail thread inside a virtual maildir box. I would like to use ECL for that script but the project which this script will belong to ([fruitslegumes][1]) is focused on using no dependencies. Because of this constraint, I only ever used POSIX-shell/C99 to build those scripts I would love to use ECL as programs can be compiled down to machine code, which can be `upx`-ed, but users would have to install their ecl package. I managed to statically link libecl with a simple script, but it gets harder for me when trying with the example-with-dep program. I saw in a previous thread of this mailing list that statically linking ECL makes asdf unusable. Is that still the case ? Would it be possible to either provide an example (if what i'm asking is even possible) or talk in more depth about ecl being statically linked ? Regards, Thomas.

Building ECL as a static library
by J E 19 Jun '23

19 Jun '23

I'm trying to explore building ECL as a static library with the eventual goal of cross compiling the library to run it on a homebrew Nintendo Switch. For starters, I wanted to see if it's possible to run example `embed` by linking ECL built as a static library rather than the system installation. I tried to do this by uninstalling ECL from my system, and then running the following from the git repo: ./configure --disable-shared --prefix=`pwd`/mystaticlib Then built ECL, I copied the headers and lib/libecl.a from the `mystaticlib` folder to the `embed` example directory, and tried modifying the Makefile to link the static library: hello.exe: hello.c hello-lisp.a $(CC) -Iinclude -o $@ hello.c hello-lisp.a \ -Llib -lecl Running the resulting executable gives a lot of undefined references, so I'm not sure if not everything gets built into libecl.a or if it's even possible to do what I'm trying to do. I'm not very proficient with C so sorry if this a dumb question, but any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
