Compile the source-file, producing a .zip
archive
compiled-file.
For example, to byte-compile a file ‘foo.scm’ do:
(compile-file "foo.scm" "foo")
This will create ‘foo.zip’, which contains
byte-compiled JVM .class
files.
You can move this file around, without worrying about class paths.
To load the compiled file, you can later load
the
named file, as in either (load "foo")
or (load "foo.zip")
.
This should have the same effect as
loading ‘foo.scm’, except you will get the faster byte-compiled versions.
