Installation

General

You need CLISP or SBCL to compile this software. CLISP produces smaller binaries.

To compile with CLISP and install:

make
make install
make clean

To compile with SBCL and install:

make lisp=sbcl
make install
make clean

You can modify the installation directories by providing a prefix as follows

make install prefix=/my/prefix

By default prefix is set to /usr/local.

Uninstall:

make uninstall

or

make uninstall prefix=/my/prefix

SCDICT keeps user-specific files in the ~/.scdict directory. These directories are unaffected by uninstallation.

Using from Lisp environment

SCDICT can also be used as a Lisp library in a Lisp environment.

It has been tested with CLISP and SBCL.

The Lisp code is collected in the lisp directory.

The entry point is the function SCDICT:MAIN which accepts a list of command line arguments.

scdict:main('("dictionary" "install" "-r" "my-file.scdict"))

is equivalent to

scdict dictionary install -r my-file.scdict
