Building CLISP on gitlab

Attempt to build CLISP on gitlab as a CI project.

Multiple platform support.

CLISP can be built on many platforms. Among them are

• Windows
  • MSC
  • mingw64 - a Unix
  • cygwin - a Unix
• MacOS - I don’t have this.
• Unix
  • Linux
  • FreeBDS

CLISP documentation

For Windows - install.WINDOWS

For UNIX - unix/INSTALL

For Porting general - unix/PLATFORMS

General Approach for docker build

• Create a base platform with all needed dependecies
• Do the configure and build
• Do the tests.
• Export the build artifacts

Each platform is defined by a key string

The build tools are a large case statement based on the key string, or perhaps there is a key.platform statement which tells the specific build conditions and methods.
