DLL-libraries compilation
During installation a console compiler is also installed named
cbelisp.exe. You may call it from command line to compile your
lisp code. Note, that PSPad, which is highly recommended to be
installed is not configured by the installer to build DLLs and
LCUs. The only way to build such modules is to use command line
compiler.
Syntax is as follows:
CBELISP.EXE filename /option
where filename is name of source code file you compile
and option is absent or one of the followng values:
/GUI – marks executable as Win32 GUI subystem file
/DLL – build DLL file. Every function in this file will be exportable
/NOLINK – make LCU file
Windows Vista facilities
The compiler is compatible with Windows Vista. You may build executables (and DLLs) in the same way you do it under Windows XP and earlier
