     Type:  enhancement  |      Status:  new     
 Priority:  major        |   Milestone:  0.13    
Component:  component1   |     Version:  1.0

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 HOWTO:

 First Patch the ABCL sources:

 [root at titan abcl]# patch -p0 < svn11486-ikvm.patch
 (Stripping trailing CRs from patch.)
 patching file src/org/armedbear/lisp/Complex.java
 (Stripping trailing CRs from patch.)
 patching file src/org/armedbear/lisp/IkvmSite.java
 (Stripping trailing CRs from patch.)
 patching file src/org/armedbear/lisp/Lisp.java
 (Stripping trailing CRs from patch.)
 patching file src/org/armedbear/lisp/Load.java
 (Stripping trailing CRs from patch.)
 patching file src/org/armedbear/lisp/Nil.java
 (Stripping trailing CRs from patch.)
 patching file src/org/armedbear/lisp/Pathname.java

 Clean:
 [root at titan abcl]# rm -rf build dist

 Build ABCL:
 [root at titan abcl]#ant abcl.dist
 ....


 Download the latest binaries from http://ikvm.net
 I use the "stable" ones: 0.36.0.11

 Unzip the binaries to a $ABCL_HOME/bin/

 Update MON_PATH:

 export MONO_PATH=.:bin

 Build the ABCL.Net.dll and abcl.exe
 alias ikvmc='mono bin/ikvmc.exe '

 [root at titan abcl]# ikvmc -compressresources -recurse:build/classes/
 -out:ABCL.Net.dll
 Note IKVMC0003: automatically adding reference to "/development/mirrors
 /ABCL-SVN/trunk/abcl/bin/IKVM.OpenJDK.ClassLibrary.dll"

 [root at titan abcl]# ikvmc   -r:ABCL.Net.dll  -main:org.armedbear.lisp.Main
 -out:abcl.exe
 Note IKVMC0003: automatically adding reference to
 "bin/IKVM.OpenJDK.ClassLibrary.dll"


 Run it:


 [root at titan abcl]# mono abcl.exe
 Armed Bear Common Lisp 0.13.0-dev (built Fri Dec 26 2008 19:15:42 PST)
 Java 1.6.0 Jeroen Frijters

 Have fun.. how soon can we just have this patch applied to ABCL src?
