Rebuild steps

(on every upgrade of: ECL, Qt5, EQL5)

  $ cd src
  $ rm -fr tmp           # Windows: rmdir tmp /s /q
  $ ecl -shell make.lisp # will take a while

  $ qmake eql5.pro
  $ make              # MSVC: nmake
  $ sudo make install # Unix only

Important notes

C++

You always need to rebuild from any *.pro file after upgrading EQL5.

The simplest way to clean everything is to remove the whole tmp/ directory in the respective build directory, since the Makefile generated by Qt not always works correctly with make clean (e.g. on Windows).

Lisp

It's also recommended to recompile any compiled EQL code (because of the tight ECL/C++ integration).

Tip

If you're on Linux, see also src/rebuild (needs password for make install).
