As far as I know, the classpath only needs clojure.jar, the src directory and the classes directory. Here's an idea. The locations of those could be command-line arguments to the cljc script. They could default to simply "src" and "classes" relative to the current directory. clojure.jar could be located via an environment variable like CLOJURE_HOME. Is there still a reason the compile can't be done in a single Clojure instances? -- R.
