2 Installation

First of all, see Declt’s homepage for tarballs, Git repository and online documentation. Declt is an ASDF 3 library, and currently works with SBCL only. If you download a Declt tarball, or clone the repository, you need to unpack somewhere in the ASDF source registry. Otherwise, Declt is also available via Quicklisp. See Supported Platforms, for more information on portability and dependencies.

In addition to the bare Lisp library, the Declt distribution offers documentation in the form of 2 different manuals: the User Manual (you are reading it) and the Declt (reference)Reference Manual. The latter is generated by Declt itself. If you want to compile the manuals by yourself, please follow the instructions below.

1. Edit make/config.make to your specific needs. In particular, you will see a number of external programs that are required in order to compile the manuals in there (see Supported Platforms).
2. Type make. By default, the documentation is built in Info, PDF, and HTML formats. If you want other formats (DVI and Postscript are available), type make all-formats. You can also type individually make dvi and/or make ps in order to get the corresponding format.
3. Type make install to install the documentation. If you have compiled the documentation in DVI and Postscript format, those will be installed as well.

The reference manual’s Texinfo source is included in the distribution (and in the repository), although, as mentioned before, it is generated by Declt itself. Before compiling, it is possible to regenerate a local version of it with hyperlinks to your installation by typing make localref. If you ever need to regenerate the regular version, you can also type make generate.

Type make uninstall to uninstall the library.
