How to add libraries like andare to a lumo build?

[abhi18av]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering about whether it's possible to add other libraries to lumo during the build process. I'd like to have custom build which includes all the libraries which I wish to get better at. I tried to find the specific file in the repo which lists the included libs such as core.spec.alpha but couldn't find what I was looking for.

Could you please help me out?

Do you mean to bundle them in the lumo executable?

[abhi18av]

Yes, I'd like to have a certain set of libraries right inside lumo to be able to practice and help others learn faster as well.

I am not sure it is worth the effort but you would need to fork lumo and tweak the build.boot first then the node nice wrapper for that.

If you want to use libraries and not embed them you could just follow this:

I hope this clarifies a bit my question as it seems that the latter approach is easier.

Hi @arichiardi , thanks for your quick reverts ;)

Actually, I just would like to have people install a single binary to get started with clojurescript and through this they could have a good playground without all the other incantations which come with other tools. Simpler things facilitate learning faster.

So, if I just add [andare "0.10.0"] to the build.boot that'd enough to have this available in the main binary right?

[arichiardi]

Nope you would need to tweak the part that compiles and embeds it in node. I personally have never done that.

I see now your problem and I can maybe propose another easier solution, which is to give students a script that wraps lumo and sets things up 😄

Btw if you will go for that (big) attempt, please paste here the fork/branch name cause I would like to take a look at well 😉

[abhi18av]

Yes, the script oriented way is my fallback solution for sure 😄 But I'd definitely like to try how it works in practice as well

Here's my fork/branch
