AOT problem solved

Thanks to the swift responses of the Clojure google group I have got past my little problem. It was, of course, deceptively simple, but not clear to someone who doesn't do Java programming much.

The problem was basically that whatever I did I could not get Clojure to recognise that the source files existed in the classpath.

When you invoke java with the

-jar

command line option it completely ignores the classpath (both the environment variable, or the

-cp

argument.

So, when compiling my code I simply switch this:

    java -cp ./classes:./src -jar ${HOME}/src/clojure/clojure.jar ./compile.clj

.. to this ...

    java -cp ./classes:./src:${HOME}/src/clojure/clojure/jar clojure.lang.Script ./compile.clj

For the record the contents of

compile.clj

are as follows:

    (binding [*compile-path* "/home/gteale/src/aot_test/classes"]
             (compile 'de.teale.test))

I plan to replace that with either ant or lancet shortly.
