Edit ``GTK binding''
This page lists Common Lisp bindings for the *(GTK) *(graphics toolkit). /("gtk binding" :attribute :topic :match :exact :case-sensitive nil) A few comments by _(JCh): <ul> <li> _(cl-gtk2) seems to be latest and active as of Sept 2009. <li> _(clg) is possibly the nicest of the lot. It's complete (autogenerated) and very lisp-ish (GTK classes are represented as instances of a subclass of :(CLHS "standard-class"), you just :(CLHS "make-instance") them); unfortunately, it currently only works with recent versions of CMUCL and SBCL; <li> _(lambda-gtk) is complete (autogenerated), but not very lispish; GTK objects are just untyped alien pointers (the Lisp incarnation of C's <tt>void*</tt>); <li> _(lgtk) is lispish enough, but incomplete (it's hand-written); <li> I haven't looked at _(cl-gtk). </ul> Another note: Clozure CL ships with gtk2 support in the form of a simple autogenerated binding (through the same ffi interface used for all native Clozure bindings). It's not lispy at all, but it works (you might want/have to re-run the binding generation script though). It should also bring in support for cairo, pango, etc.
