GitHub Action to Make Common Lisp Programs

This GitHub Action makes Common Lisp programs on GitHub runners where a Common Lisp implementation is already installed.

This action is complemented by other actions related to the Common Lisp eco system:

• setup-common-lisp
• setup-quicklisp
• asdf-operate
• make-lisp-system-documentation-texinfo

Usage

Create a workflow file in the.github/workflows directory of your working copy. This workflow file should use a MacOS runner, a Ubuntu Runner or a Windows runner and use the branch v1 of this action.

An example workflow is available below. See the GitHub Help Documentation for Creating a workflow file to get started with GitHub workflows.

Outcomes

Once the action has been executed succesfully, the required Common Lisp program has been made under the pathname saved in the build-pathname action output.

Inputs

• implementation — The Common Lisp implementation to setup QuickLisp for. This can be one of the values ecl sbcl and in the future we would like to support all of abcl clasp clisp ecl gcl sbcl and maybe other implementations. Please open an issue to express interest for other implementations.

• system: The Common Lisp system where the program resides. This common Lisp system must have specific ASDF annotations, such as build-pathname. See ASDF Best practices

Outputs

• build-pathname — The pathname to the program made by ASDF.
