After much experimentation, I figured out how to build a LISP image (application) in ACL5. The problem is that the new image-building machinery does not inherit anything from the running image. The solution is to build a project that contains a single file that loads your system. For example, here is the file I used:
(cl:in-package "CL-USER") (load "t:\\dev5\\fsl\\base\\lportabl.fasl") (let ((p:*module-defaults* '(#p"t:\\dev5\\fsl\\" #p"t:\\dev5\\src\\util\\"))) (p:require "scaffold/query.l") (tquery :ipl-well) (p:require "x-dm/impl") (p:require "x-dm-sql/impl") (p:require "x-ppdm/impl") (p:require "x-uwi/impl") (p:require "mdl-ipl-well/xmain") )
Another wrinkle is that the initial function for the image must return a window. The image will run until that window closes. We will probably have to work around this behaviour. Maybe we can return NIL or a closed window.
In the course of troubleshooting this process, I noticed that the query tool was still using some of the compatibility classes in the ACLWIN302 package. We should delete this package when developing.
