Hello World in Lisp
Author
I''m using Corman Lisp as my compiler/interpretter/LISP thing, and I want to make a hello world program, like....an actually executable and everything.
Basically, my problem is that I don''t know how to compile. This is what my source code looks like:
I''ve never done an .exe with Lisp, but I question: why do you have (main)? Isn''t that like calling main during the start-up phase?
Anyway, you would need to open up a window or a console to actually see something, I believe. I don''t know how to do that, but there are ways to access the Win32 API from Lisp. You can call any C function, in fact. Look at the help.
If you want a simpler deal, write your Hello World to a file instead.

(print "hello world")
That should be sufficient for lisp.
You can expect a large executable.
Also- why don''t you get clisp?
Its the standard.
I would expect compiling syntax would be....
c:>lisp -o hello.lsp
(compiling messages if errors/warnings)
c:>
Might be -c or something, but it should approximate that.
Anyway: in future, ask lisp questions in the AI forum- they speak with a lishp over there.

I suspect the problem is that you're not passing enough parameters to the (save-application) function.
I think you probably just need to put true in for the console parameter.
I'm only getting this from the docs though, not from experience, so I might be wrong.
Actually, it's probably better to ask AI questions in the AI forum, and lisp questions in the general programming forum. That way, the names of the forums will actually be related to their content.

I''m not a LISP expert, BUT one rule of thumb for LISP ==
1) YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY PARENTHESIS ( ( ) )!
Dam you Lisp and your evil ways!
Also, Hello World is not what Lisp is really about ... Learn List Comprehension

(defun main () (print "Hello World!") (force-output))(save-application "d:\\1\\hello" ''main :console t :static t)It took me a while until I found the force-output function in some examples in the corman lisp program directory.
The original post has a few errors. First, you should have written (print ''hello). By writing (''hello) you try to call the hello symbol as a function - which is wrong. Also you don''t need to execute the function main - third line - (main).
I added the :console t key parameter to say that I want a console app and the :static t one to make sure no Corman Lisp dll is required to run the program. There''s also a path for the resulting exe file - you may want to change that.
