This demo shows how to embed ECL into Qt5 and serve as kernel. This also discuss how to compile ECL with C++(14). You can extend on this demo to form a more complicate and productive project. # Preparation Before you build the demo, make sure you have those dependencies installed: 1. ECL, of course. We recommend version 16.1.2. 2. g++/clang compiler with at least C++14 support. 3. make 4. Qt5.x with Qt Creator. 5. Quicklisp installed on your ECL. We use the external Lisp package :lparallel so you better download that package in advance using `(ql:quickload :lparallel)`. # Build ## Build CL Library and FASB Run `make` in current directory and you get two files in the directory `qt/` (if successful). `lisp-envi.a` and `hello-lisp-system--all-systems.fasb`. ## Configure and build your Qt Project To build the example it is enough to change to the `qt/` directory, generate a Makefile with `qmake` and to call `make`. ```shell cd qt/ qmake make ``` If you want to change your Qt project, open it with the `Qt Creator`. It can build the executable for you (instead of manually working with make). # Run After you go through the steps above, go for the executable file and try that demo. Notice: For OSX users, you should manually move the .fasb file into the directory where your executable file is in. So run the command: ``` mv hello-lisp-system--all-systems.fasb ecl_qtdemo.app/Contents/MacOS/ ``` Happy hacking with ECL! ntr(Lexicall)
