The REPL build depends on Quicklisp, hardcoded installation details
repl.lisp
starts with
(load "~/quicklisp/setup")
followed by
(let ((*standard-output* (make-broadcast-stream)))
(ql:quickload "cl-readline"))
This requires Quicklisp to be installed in ~/quicklisp
. Guix users (see #36) normally don't use Quicklisp at all, and even users who do have Quicklisp may have installed it elsewhere (~/.quicklisp
seems to be popular as well).
I don't see immediately why Quicklisp is used here. Nor why cl-readline
needs to be loaded here, ASDF should have taken care of that already.
