Previously the boot image was kept in the separate file "flisp.boot". This caused all kinds of problems, as bootstrapping is wont to do. The biggest problem was finding a portable and convenient pathname for it. Instead of dealing with all that stuff about how to find the file, just store the image in a huge C string constant that goes into the main executable. This necessitates adding a C-string hex dumper into the Lisp system, and making build.sh slightly more complicated, but that's a small price to pay for not having to carry a separate file everywhere we go. Also, flmain.c is a lot simpler now and we don't have to play around with symlinks. |
