Compiling CL Programs for MAXIMA

If you use only CL primitives your program can be compiled using Common Lisp. To find out more about CL and how to compile CL programs consult the man page.


man akcl
If you use MAXIMA macros etc. it is safer to use MAXIMA to compile your source code file (use the conventional suffix .lsp). Basically you use the UNIX command

mc file1.lsp file2.lsp ...
to compile the give source-code files into object-code files. Do a man mc for more info on the MAXIMA compiler mc.
