[Ecls-list] ECL on windows 64?

[Matic Kukovec]

Hi,

I finally got the compilation to work. I'm not sure what was wrong the 
first time I tried it.

If anyone wants to try compiling on Windows 7 64-bit, here is the 
procedure I used:
     - clone the git repository of ECL into any directory
     - run the "Visual Studio x64 Win64 Command Prompt (2010)" (you need 
"Visual Studio 2010" with MSVC++ x64 compiler installed)
     - move to the directory where you cloned ECL and into the "msvc" 
sebdirectory
     - edit the "Makefile" in line 21 and change it from "#ECL_WIN64 = " 
to "ECL_WIN64 = 1", then save the Makefile
     - run "nmake" from the same directory and wait for the compilation 
to finish
     - run "nmake install", this will install ECL to the "msvc\package" 
subdirectory
     - run "ECL" form "msvc\package" and install the compiler by 
entering "(ext:install-c-compiler)" into the REPL
     - compile your lisp file(E.G.: hello.lisp) to an .obj file by 
entering "(compile-file "path_to_file/hello.lisp" :system-p t)" into the 
REPL
     - build your program by entering "(c:build-program 
"your_program_name" :lisp-files '("path_to_file/hello.obj"))" into the REPL
     - you will need ecl.dll and any other dependencies in the directory 
where you run your compiled program or in the "PATH"

I know that the procedure is explained in the ECL manual, but I was so 
happy that I got it to work that I had to share it with you guys.

Cheers,
Matic
