A Leiningen plugin to automate build tasks for ClojureCLR projects.

Leiningen 2 is required to use this plugin. You can use it for both .NET and Mono.

Important: This plugin is in Beta. Please report bugs, share ideas, comments etc.

Install as a project level plugin in project.clj:

:plugins [[lein-clr "0.2.2"]]

Note: lein-clr redefines the environment variables CLOJURE_LOAD_PATH and CLOJURE_COMPILE_PATH internally ignoring their original values.

The lein-clr plugin needs a :clr key in project.clj for CLR related details. See sample.project.clj for examples. The sub-sections below show how to get started.

(Assuming you are on Windows with a recent version of the .NET framework or Mono. It should work on Unix-like systems using Mono if available in PATH. If you do not have curl/wget and unzip on PATH, consider Quickstart in 4 steps.)

1. Create a new Leiningen project

   C:\work> lein new lein-clr foo
   C:\work> cd foo

2. The default project.clj does not enable automatic download of ClojureCLR; enable that by editing project.clj under :clr as follows:

   • Uncomment [:wget :clj-zip :clj-url] and [:unzip "../clj" :clj-zip] under :deps-cmds.
   • Under :main-cmd and :compile-cmd replace :clj-exe with :clj-dep.

3. Run the build tasks

   C:\work\foo> lein clr test
   C:\work\foo> lein clr run -m foo.core
   C:\work=foo> lein clr -v compile foo.core

(Assuming you are on Windows with a recent version of the .NET framework or Mono. It should work on Unix-like systems using Mono if available in PATH.)

1. Download a recent ClojureCLR binary package from here:

   http://sourceforge.net/projects/clojureclr/files/

2. Uncompress it into a suitable directory and define an environment variable pointing to that directory location, e.g:

   CLJCLR14_40=C:\clojure-clr-1.4.1-Debug-40

3. Create a new Leiningen project

   C:\work> lein new lein-clr foo
   C:\work> cd foo

4. Try the build tasks

   C:\work\foo> lein clr test
   C:\work\foo> lein clr run -m foo.core
   C:\work\foo> lein clr -v compile

You can carry out a number of build tasks for ClojureCLR projects using Microsoft .NET or Mono. A synopsis of the tasks:

lein clr [-v] clean
lein clr [-v] compile
lein clr [-v] help
lein clr [-v] repl
lein clr [-v] run [-m ns-having-main] [arg1 [arg2] ...]
lein clr [-v] test [test-ns1 [test-ns2] ...]

lein-clr uses some regular attributes from project.clj for build tasks. Besides, there are some specific attributes you can refer to in the sample.project.clj file in this repo.
