Installation of the CL package is simple: Just put the
byte-compiled files cl.elc, cl-extra.elc,
cl-seq.elc, cl-macs.elc, and cl-compat.elc
into a directory on your load-path
.
There are no special requirements to compile this package: The files do not have to be loaded before they are compiled, nor do they need to be compiled in any particular order.
You may choose to put the files into your main lisp/
directory, replacing the original cl.el file there. Or,
you could put them into a directory that comes before lisp/
on your load-path
so that the old cl.el is
effectively hidden.
Also, format the cl.texinfo file and put the resulting Info files in the info/ directory or another suitable place.
You may instead wish to leave this package’s components all in
their own directory, and then add this directory to your
load-path
and (Emacs 19 only) Info-directory-list
.
Add the directory to the front of the list so the old CL
package and its documentation are hidden.
