## 2. Building

To build VSLisp, just uncompress it's distribution archive, and then do `./configure` in that directory. Maybe, you'll need some options - try `./configure --help`.

Now you can do `make; make install`.

There are some `define`s in `l_defs.h`, and, maybe, you'll want to change them before building. Please, read that file. One thing I'll mention here: definition of `LP_MALLOC`. If you'll define it, old `malloc` method will be used to allocate list's skeletons. It's somewhat slower, but it saves memory for small programs.
