Topic: Possible to compile .prv and .lsp to .vlx from the windows command line?

[SIDESHOWBOB]

Is it possible to compile autolisp applications from the windows command line?  Seeing as I believe in automated builds that would be rather useful.

There are a set of LISP functions, prefixed "vlisp-*" that enable you to compile to a VLX programmatically through LISP (albeit not via the Windows command-line as you initially requested), though none of these functions has been documentated, making them very difficult to use:

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]

1. vlisp-compile
2. vlisp-compile-list
3. vlisp-dclres-list
4. vlisp-dclres-load-dialog
5. vlisp-drop-project
6. vlisp-export-symbol
7. vlisp-fasres-list
8. vlisp-fasres-load
9. vlisp-find-project
10. vlisp-import-exsubrs
11. vlisp-import-symbol
12. vlisp-inires-list
13. vlisp-list-loaded-projects
14. vlisp-load-project
15. vlisp-make-file-fas
16. vlisp-make-project-fas
17. vlisp-make-project-load-file
18. vlisp-project-fas-list
19. vlisp-read-file-xdv-list
20. vlisp-read-project-xdv-list

Something new with the missing documentation?

Using Autocad 2014.
Entering VLISP on the Autocad command line and pressing ENTER brings up the Visual Lisp Editor.
I have  a lisp-to-fas program by Alan J. Thompson dated 10.30.09 that uses vlisp-compile command to access the editor for the conversion.
It may be that these commands beginning with vlisp- are a way to invoke functions within the editor ??

An example of compiling lisp to fas

Code: [Select]

(VL-LOAD-COM)
(setq loads (list "Lisp1" "Lisp2" "Lisp3"))
(setq loc1 "F:\\") ;;change dirs to where ever you want them saved
(setq loc2 "F:\\Compiled Lisp\\")
(foreach lisp loads
(vlisp-compile 'st (strcat loc1 lisp ".lsp") (strcat loc2 lisp ".fas"))
)
