Common Lisp stand alone question


I am learning Common Lisp and I have a question. I know in Windows, you can use the commercial IDE's like Allegro CL, Lispworks, etc to make stand alone exe's.

My question is, how is this done in Linux?
I am versed in Linux, but I have never programmed in Linux. What procedure should I follow to create a stand alone type of application in Linux? I guess a binary?

Did you try gcl (GNU Common Lisp)? AFAIK, it can compile to an native executable.

Look into SBCL and ECL. Those can definitely compile down, and ECL is designed to be compact.

I started the MIT SICP series and it turns out that what they refer to as Lisp actually turned out to Scheme, which is handled now by DrScheme. I just checked and it will compile an executable.

I assume that you've gotten a copy of the sbcl manual:
