# Clisp-2.49.95

## Introduction to Clisp

GNU Clisp is a Common Lisp implementation which includes an interpreter, compiler, debugger, and many extensions.

### Note

This package has not had a 'stable' release since 2010. The package here was created from the upstream git repository in order to enable it to be built with gcc-15. The most recent commit was May 2025.

### Note

Development versions of BLFS may not build or run some packages properly if LFS or dependencies have been updated since the most recent stable versions of the books.

## Installation of Clisp

Install Clisp by running the following commands:

    mkdir build &&
    cd    build &&

    ../configure --srcdir=../  \
                 --prefix=/usr \
                 --docdir=/usr/share/doc/clisp-2.49.95 &&
    make

To test the results, issue: make check.

Now, as the `root` user:

    make install

## Command Explanations

`--docdir=/usr/share/doc/clisp-2.49.95`: this switch forces the HTML documentation to be installed into a versioned directory.

`--with-libffcall-prefix=/usr`: use this to tell configure that you have installed the optional libffcall package.
