Obtaining AmOS

The project is managed through a GForge page.

Supported platforms

AmOS itself is written in pure ANSI Common Lisp, but it relies on libraries that are implementation dependent. The following Common Lisp implementations have been tested:

The following implementations might work as well:

License

AmOS is distributed under the GPLv3 license.

Downloading

The source code and documentation are maintained in a Subversion repository. You can obtain the bleeding edge version by executing the following command:

svn checkout https://gforge.info.ucl.ac.be/svn/amos/trunk

Alternatively, stable versions are available as separate branches which can be browsed on-line, and can downloaded as follows:

svn checkout https://gforge.info.ucl.ac.be/svn/amos/tags/1.0.0

Installation

AmOS is installed simply by making it visible to ASDF. Instructions on how to do this are available in ASDF's manual.

Before you will be able to load AmOS, the trivial-garbage library needs to be available. It can be installed by means of ASDF Install as follows:

(asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op 'asdf-install)
(asdf-install:install 'trivial-garbage)

Emacs minor mode

Emacs users can use the amos-mode minor mode to get syntax highlighting of AmOS-specific constructs. Simply add the following three lines to your ~/.emacs configuration:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/path-to-amos/project")
(autoload 'amos-mode "amos-mode" "Toggle AmOS minor mode." t)
(autoload 'load-amos "amos-mode" "Load AmOS through ASDF." t)

You can enable the minor mode by hand with M-x amos-mode. To load AmOS into your Lisp image, use M-x load-amos (requires ASDF support).
