#P"/usr/lib/lispworks/"
on Unix.
#P"/usr/local/lib/LispWorks/"
on Linux (for an installation from the tar archive) or FreeBSD.
#P"C:\Program Files\LispWorks\"
on Microsoft Windows.
#P"/Applications/LispWorks 5.1/Library/"
on Mac OS X.
Note however that the value can be set when configuring an image or on startup.
The variable
*lispworks-directory*
holds the name of the directory where various files important for the running of LispWorks are located.
When LispWorks starts in a directory which contains an appropriate numbered subdirectroy such as
lib/5-1-0-0/
, then it assumes this is the LispWorks installation directory and sets
*lispworks-directory*
accordingly. Additionally, LispWorks for Macintosh running on Cocoa looks for such a subdirectory in the
Library
folder alongside its application bundle, and if found it sets
*lispworks-directory*
accordingly.
On non-Windows platforms, LispWorks then consults the Unix environment variable
LISPWORKS_DIRECTORY
. If this is set, then
*lispworks-directory*
is set accordingly.
The
lib/5-1-0-0/
subdirectory of
*lispworks-directory*
should include these subdirectories:
config
, which contains the configuration files.
patches
, which contains any public (numbered) patches that are distributed by LispWorks Ltd.
private-patches
, which is the place to put private (named) patches that are sent to you by Lisp Support.
postscript
, which contains configuration files for printing using the CAPI printing library. See "Customization of LispWorks" in the
LispWorks User Guide
for more information on printer configuration.
examples
, which contains various files of example code.
Other directories are
etc
,
load-on-demand
and
manual
. There is also
app-defaults
for platforms where Motif is supported.
