Remove binary files

[mldulaney]

Open source software should, by definition, not be distributing binary files. Given the xz backdoor, these increase distrust.

Hello there, fellow Gentoo stage 1 user?

[vindarel]

thanks, we will merge this.

I'll wait a bit and look at our options to automate the build.

(Anyone is welcome to help)

hi, how are these binaries built? i'd be happy to help set them up to build with the rest of lem at build time

@mldulaney hey thanks for proposing.

Here's a lisp snippet that builds the binary:

;; thanks to April & May on Discord
(let* ((source (asdf:system-relative-pathname :lem-terminal "terminal.c"))
       (lib (asdf:system-relative-pathname
             :lem-terminal (format nil
                                   "~(lib/~A/~A/terminal.so~)"
                                   (uiop:operating-system)
                                   (uiop:architecture)))))
  (unless (probe-file lib)
    (ensure-directories-exist lib)
    #+darwin
    (uiop:run-program (format nil "cc ~A -I/opt/homebrew/include -L/opt/homebrew/lib -lvterm -o ~A -shared -fPIC" 
                              source lib))
    #-darwin
    (uiop:run-program (format nil "cc ~A -lvterm -o ~A -shared -fPIC" source lib))))

(it fails on my machine so it's a bit more difficult to test for me)

Example invocation:

cc /home/vindarel/lisp-projects/lem/extensions/terminal/terminal.c -lvterm -o /home/vindarel/lisp-projects/lem/extensions/terminal/lib/linux/x64/terminal.so -shared -fPIC

terminal.c:297:34: error: ‘VTermScreenCellAttrs’ has no member named ‘conceal’
