Create a executable - force redefine function

Hey there,

we want to create an executable and redefine the quit function. In the LispWorks Environment I easily can click "Ok" to "Redefine it anyway". But when I create the executable it just quit with the Error:

Quitting because of error:

Redefining function QUIT visible from package LISPWORKS.

Is there any way to force redefine the function in the build?

Regards,

Phil

You can put the defun in a handler-bind that invokes the "Redefine it
anyway" restart.

The following shoud do the trick:

(let ((lw:*handle-warn-on-redefinition* :quiet))
  (defun ...))

Re: Create a executable - force redefine function

Have you looked at *packages-for-warn-on-redefinition* and friends?

If this isn't it mail me directly as I have done just this but would need to dig out the code
