30.7 Using the Application Builder to save a development image

To use the Application Builder to save a development image you first configure it to know about it your save-image script, which you must write by hand. Then you invoke the Build command.

For example, you can use the Application Builder to save a console development image. We assume that you have the script in the file /tmp/resave.lisp as described under "Saving a non-GUI image with multiprocessing enabled" in the LispWorks User Guide and Reference Manual . Enter /tmp/resave.lisp in the Build script: area, and then press the Build the application using the script toolbar button. Then you can run the new image ~/lw-console.

Note: The Application Builder runs the build in a subprocess. It does not save the current LispWorks IDE image in which you are running the Application Builder tool, and your saved image does not inherit any settings you have made in the current LispWorks IDE image. For that functionality, see Session Saving.
