Re: [Gcl-devel] Building GCL functinoality into another C program.

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings, and thanks for your interest in GCL.  I've never seen what
you're trying to do done, but I've heard that it can be.  Any
experience on this list?  In any case, I'm reasonably confident that
you'll have a much easier time by using the (clines lisp function to
inline your C code and call from the lisp toplevel.  You might also
want to look at the comments at the top of ./lsp/littleXlsp.lsp for an
example of some lisp/C interface.

Take care,
