Introduction

This shell script creates a layout for a Lisp poject.

How to use

The script takes the following arguments:

• -b or -l flags to create a layout for a Lisp library (-l) or an executable (-b)
• -n [project-name] to provide a project name

Make a library

To create the layout for a Lisp library, whose name is "my-library" and whose API depends on file1.lisp and file2.lisp, execute in shell:

./make-lisp-project.sh -l -n my-library file1 file2

This produces a folder my-library with the following content:

my-library/
├── api.lisp
├── file1.lisp
├── file2.lisp
├── load.lisp
├── my-library.asd
├── packages.lisp
├── README.md
└── tests
    ├── integration-tests.lisp
    └── unit-tests.lisp

The file load.lisp contains ASDF command to compile the library.

Make an executable

To create the layout to start working on an executable, whose name is "my-executable" and whose main.lisp depends on file1.lisp and file2.lisp, execute in shell:

./make-lisp-project.sh -b -n my-executable file1 file2

This produces a folder my-library with the following content:

my-executable/
├── cli.lisp
├── file1.lisp
├── file2.lisp
├── load.lisp
├── main.lisp
├── makefile
├── my-executable.asd
├── packages.lisp
├── README.md
└── tests
    ├── integration-tests.lisp
    └── unit-tests.lisp

The file load.lisp contains ASDF command to build the executable. Or just use the makefile.
