>From one point of view this is relatively small change. But there are drawbacks: each Lisp has its own command line arguments, so it non-portable between Lisps. Also, FriCAS depends on some specific settings, when users try to change such setting it willl either be ignored or interfere with FriCAS work. Currently, the problem is that FriCAS request sbcl to preserve runtime options when creating executable. This was done by Martin Rubey so that one can add '--dynamic-space-size' during FriCAS build. However sbcl gives us only one chance to specify runtime options: if we specify them at build time attempt to give them during startup is ignered. So we either can give them during build time (current choice) or during startup but not both. We probably could make this a bit smarter and preserve runtime options during build only if explicitelely requested. That way for normal build without runtime options user would still have possiblity to specify them... -- Waldek Hebisch -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "FriCAS - computer algebra system" group.
