# MANY THANKS to the users of the eql-user mailing list for their contributions!
TESTED WITH
===========
* ECL 16
* Qt 5.5
* Linux
REQUIREMENTS
============
* ECL threads + unicode
* Qt5
* /should/ run cross-platform
BUILD
=====
(N.B. for rebuilding, please see README-REBUILD.txt)
[Windows]
You first need to adapt the file src/windows.pri (include & library paths).
[MSVC]
substitute make with nmake
[OSX]
To force creation of a Makefile (instead of an Xcode project), use this flag:
qmake -spec macx-g++
1) In src/ run:
ecl -shell make-eql-lib.lisp
2) Do: (use qmake-qt4 if you have Qt5 installed)
qmake eql_lib.pro
make
qmake eql_exe.pro
make
This will build both the EQL executable and shared library.
3) cd ..
[Linux]
You need to create links to EQL, something like (note the "5"):
cd /usr/lib
sudo ln -s ~/eql5/libeql5.so.1 libeql5.so.1
cd /usr/bin
sudo ln -s ~/eql5/eql5 eql5
[OSX]
You need to create links to EQL, something like (note the "5"):
cd /usr/lib
sudo ln -s ~/eql5/libeql5.1.dylib libeql5.1.dylib
cd /usr/bin
sudo ln -s ~/eql5/eql5.app/Contents/MacOS/eql5 eql5
[Windows]
Add your EQL directory to the Path environment variable, see:
<Control Panel:System:Advanced:Environment Variables>
RUN
===
PLEASE NOTE:
You will often need to "reset" (command) your console/shell after EQL finished
working, especially during development time or other exits than "(eql:qquit)".
You can run a simple interactive REPL UI doing:
eql5 -qgui
To run a Lisp file without top-level, do:
eql5 examples/2-clock
(If you don't see the application window, it might be in the background.
Use your taskbar to show it.)
If you start the EQL executable without arguments, it will start the usual ECL top-level
(without processing Qt events).
To _not_ load ~/.eclrc on startup, do:
eql5 -norc
To quit the tool, do:
(eql:qquit) or
(eql:qq)
In order to run (sort of) a top-level processing Qt events, do (requires ECL threads):
eql5 -qtpl
Note: If you want to use "ecl-readline" together with "-qtpl", just compile
"eql5/src/lisp/ecl-readline.lisp" (which depends on the "readline" C library).
It will then be loaded automatically on startup.
QT MODULES (network, sql, opengl)
==========
To build an EQL module (corresponding to a Qt module), do the following in src/:
qmake module_<name>.pro (e.g. qmake module_network.pro)
make
[Linux,OSX]
You need to create links to the modules, see EQL library above.
In Lisp, use the function QREQUIRE to load a module:
(qrequire :network)
TIP
===
You might want to put this in your ~/.eclrc file:
#+eql
(setf eql:*qtpl* t ; same as -qtpl
eql:*break-on-errors* t)
