Title: How do I run LispWorks in console mode?
ID: 16006
| Product: LispWorks for Linux (Enterprise), LispWorks for Linux (Professional), LispWorks for Windows (Enterprise), LispWorks for Windows (Professional / Enterprise) Version: All OS: All | |
| Description: LWW and LWL both start the Common LispWorks GUI on startup, by default. To run the Professional and Enterprise editions in terminal (non-GUI) mode, you must use a resaved image. Additionally, on MS Windows, the OS needs to distinguish between windowing and console applications before startup. LWW is distributed as a windowing application, so you need to specify that the resaved image is a console application. * Prepare a script file (let's call it terminal.lisp) including the following: (load-all-patches) (save-image "lw-terminal" #+Win32 :console #+Win32 t :environment nil) (quit) * Save an image using this script i.e. (from a DOS Prompt) <dir>/lispworks-4200.exe -init <dir>/terminal.lisp * Wait until lw-terminal.exe has been created. * The new image lw-terminal.exe runs without the GUI by default. Please note that neither of these options is available in the Personal Editions of LWW and LWL. | |
