# SICL: A new Common Lisp Implementation



This is the main source code repository for SICL.



## What is SICL?



SICL is a new implementation of Common Lisp. It is intentionally

divided into many implementation-independent modules that are written

in a totally or near-totally portable way, so as to allow other

implementations to incorporate these modules from SICL, rather than

having to maintain their own, perhaps implementation-specific

versions.

The bash script `get-dependencies.sh` will do this work for you.



2. Clone the [source] with `git`:



   ```

   $ git clone https://github.com/robert-strandh/SICL

   $ cd SICL

   ```



3. Make sure the top-level directory can be found by ASDF.



4. Compile the boot system as follows:



   ```lisp

   (asdf:load-system :sicl-new-boot)

   ```



5. Change the package for convenience:



   ```lisp

   (in-package #:sicl-new-boot)

   ```



6. Create an instance of the BOOT class:



   ```lisp

   (boot)

   ```



   Bootstrapping may take a few minutes.



7. Start a REPL:



   ```lisp

   (repl4)

   ```
