Edit ``McCLIM''
_(McCLIM) is Mike McDonald's Free and portable implementation of _(CLIM), the Common Lisp ueber-*(GUI) toolkit. The <a href="http://common-lisp.net/project/mcclim/downloads/mcclim-0.9.6.tar.gz">current release</a> is 0.9.6 (St. George's Day), released 2008-04-23. The <a href="http://common-lisp.net/project/mcclim/">project page for McCLIM</a> contains information about the mailing lists, CVS access, and development. McCLIM also has its own CLiki at <a href="http://mcclim.cliki.net/">http://mcclim.cliki.net/</a>. In particular, see the introduction at <a href="http://mcclim.cliki.net/GettingStarted">GettingStarted</a> for build instructions. Releases can usually be installed using _(Asdf-install) (last tested with McCLIM 0.9.4), but newer code might be available in CVS. McCLIM is also available <a href="http://packages.debian.org/testing/devel/cl-mcclim">as a package</a> in _(Debian) from release 3.1 (Sarge) onwards. :(package "http://common-lisp.net/project/mcclim/downloads/mcclim-0.9.6.tar.gz") <hr> <font size="-2"> Older instructions: What _(Christophe) does, which probably shouldn't be blindly followed; use for ideas: <ul><li>start with a freshly-built SBCL, in the current directory, with previously-downloaded _(CLX) (with _(asdf-install), maybe) with a link from ~/.sbcl/systems/clx.asd to the clx.asd in that distribution.</li> <li>(the sneaky bit) symlink system.lisp from the McCLIM sources to ~/.sbcl/systems/clim-clx-user.asd. While you're at it, symlink McCLIM/Apps/Listener/clim-listener.asd to ~/.sbcl/systems/clim-listener.asd (Bob Uhl: clim-listener.asd doesn't exist in current CVS)</li> <li>Start a clean SBCL as follows: <tt>$ SBCL_HOME=`pwd`/contrib ./src/runtime/sbcl --core ./output/sbcl.core</tt></li> <li>At the prompt, do <tt>(require 'asdf)</tt></li> <li>At the prompt, do <tt>(progn (asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op 'clx) (asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op 'clim-clx-user) (asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op 'clim-examples) (asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op 'clim-listener))</tt></li> <li>Make coffee. When it's finished, you should be able to run the listener, the address book demo, and so on.</li> </ul> Obviously, other peoples' routines will be different, because they'll want to use distribution-provided binaries for some of this, and probably will be building _(SBCL) less often than I do, but that should give you an idea. -- _(Christophe) These instructions are for an 0.9.1 ish and some things have changed. All the systems have been migrated into mcclim.asd - you no longer need multiple symlinks, and you need to install _(spatial-trees) as well as _(CLX) before you can use mcclim. I expect some updated installation instructions will emerge with 0.9.2, but until then, there's this :-) - John Connors </font> <hr>
