18 to get the whole package.
20 Make the shared library liblispstat with an ANSI C compiler (only gcc
21 tested at this point):
26 run a common lisp (SBCL, CMUCL, CLISP, CLOZURE-CL) starting in the
27 current directory. Recent versions of CFFI and LIFT can be found in
28 the external/ subdirectory, and should be autoload-able, assuming that
29 you are using a Lisp implementation supporting ASDF. (AJR-FIXME: need
30 to upload my GIT mirrors to repo.or.cz or similar, and have them
31 potentially available as submodules if needed)
33 (on Debian or similar systems: can use CLC (Common Lisp Controller) or
34 SBCL approaches, i.e. ~/.clc/systems or ~/.sbcl/systems should
35 contain softlinks to the lispstat, cffi, and lift ASDF files
36 (i.e. lispstat.asd, cffi.asd, and lift.asd). AJR-FIXME: There is
37 probably a similar incantation for other CL's, need to record that
40 Step through ls-demo.lisp for a range of examples of activities.
45 1. change directory into the CommonLispStat working directory.
47 3. follow the commands in the ls-demo.lisp file, i.e.
49 0. (asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op 'lift) ;; Still need this, not sure why?
50 a. (asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op 'lispstat) ;; use ASDF to load lispstat
51 b. (in-package :ls-user)
53 d. (setf mytest (normal-rand 20))
54 e. ... (and so on) ...
56 and see if they work (basic CFFI functionality for external C
57 library, LIFT package for unit-testing framework to ensure run time
60 4. Tell me ( mailto:blindglobe@gmail.com ) if there is any thing wrong
61 (or if anything happens to work.
63 CMUCL and SBCL seem to work just fine at this stage.
65 CLISP is finicky regarding the problems that we have with CFFI
66 conversation. In particular that we can not really do typing that we
67 need to take care of. I think this is my problem, not someone
70 Need to test ECL. Clozure-CL seems to somewhat work.
74 See Doc/README* for history and design considerations
75 See Doc/INSTALL for getting this to work and run
79 Working on this with git:
81 git clone git://repo.or.cz/CommonLispStat.git
86 will pull the whole repository, and create a "master" branch to work
87 on. If you are making edits, Probably, you don't want to use the
88 master branch, but more to use a topic-centric branch, so you might:
90 git checkout -b myTopicBranch
92 and then work on myTopicBranch, pulling back to the master branch when
96 git pull . myTopicBranch
99 git rebase myTopicBranch
102 of course, perhaps you want to contribute to the mob branch. For
103 that, after cloning the repository as above, you would:
105 git checkout -b mob remotes/origin/mob
107 (work, work, work... through a cycle of
110 git add <files just edited>
111 git commit -m "what I just did"
113 ad-nauseum. When ready to commit, then just:
115 git push git+ssh://mob@repo.or.cz/srv/git/CommonLispStat.git mob:mob
119 and it'll be put on the mob branch, as a proposal for merging.
121 Another approach would be to pull from the topic branch into the mob
122 branch before uploading. Will work on a formal example soon.
124 (the basic principle is that instead of the edit cycle on mob, do
128 git pull . myTopicBranch
129 git push git+ssh://mob@repo.or.cz/srv/git/CommonLispStat.git mob:mob
133 Alternatively, one can work on the github repositories as well. They
134 are a bit differently organized, and require one to get a github
135 account and work from there. In that case, you'd need to D/L the
138 That gets a bit tricky, but see ./bin/GetRepos.sh for an example.
142 I've started putting examples of use in function documentation. If
143 you are a lisp'er, you'll find this pendantic and insulting. Many of
144 the uses are trivial. However, this has been tested out on a number
145 of research statisticians (the primary user audience) and found
148 Still need to write the (run-doc-ex 'function-name) function, which
149 would print out the example and run it live. Hopefully with the same
150 results. I've used XML markup for this, but for no particular reason,
151 we could have used SEXPs as well. This is currently done by using an
152 <example> tag set, as in
155 (example-code-for-function))
