ASDF - another system definition facility - is the de facto standard build system for common lisp. https://asdf.common-lisp.dev/ https://asdf.common-lisp.dev/ In common lisp, you don't need a build system at all; you can `(load "file.lisp")` everything and it should generally just work. But of course, build systems are useful tools, so nonetheless ASDF exists and it's nice enough to the degree that nobody has built a better and more widespread common lisp build system. Some good trivial examples are in the lisp cookbook: https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/systems.html https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/systems.html
