[Ecls-list] Embedding ECL - how?

[Dr. Edmund Weitz]

I understand that ECL was originally designed for being embeddable
into C based applications. However, I wonder how this is to be
done. Am I supposed to link with libecl.a and the other libraries in
the same directory? What next? Do I have to start the REPL or can I
link with or load object files that I have created with COMPILE-FILE
and start my own functions directly somehow? Are examples available
somewhere? I've read the developer's guide but I didn't find any
pointers.

Sorry if I've missed something obvious.

Thanks,
Edi.
