complile clojure

gistfile1.txt

For the sake of understanding how many of these systems work underneath, here is some bare minimum code to compile code without a repl.

Say you have some class generating code:

hello.clj:

 (ns hello
   (:gen-class
    :methods [[sayHi [] String]]))

 (defn -sayHi [this]
   (println "hello world"))
You can build your "makefile" out of clojure code

compile.clj:

 (set! *compile-path* "./")
 (compile 'hello)
Then you just call your code as a script.

 $ java -cp ~/dj/lib/clojure.jar:./ clojure.main compile.clj 
 $ ls
 compile.clj  hello.clj          hello$loading__4505__auto__.class
 hello.class  hello__init.class  hello$_sayHi.class
Now your code is compiled and you can access it like any other class file:

 $ java -cp ~/dj/lib/clojure.jar:./ clojure.main
 Clojure 1.3.0
 user=> (import 'hello)
 hello
 user=> (.sayHi (hello.))
 "hello world"
 user=>
