[clisp-list] Dose slime really support clisp ?

[Hoehle, Joerg-C. <Joe...@t-...>]

Lin Jingxian wonders:

Yes. Although I don't know whether clisp-2.33.2 works out of the box.

This just means that people could contribute code e.g. to step through =
code. OTOH just ignore all missing interfaces about threads, there are =
no threads yet (trying to contribute them is a grade>=3D**** exercise).


My .emacs (GNU Emacs-20.7) has the following.

(setq slime-path (file-name-directory =
"d:/hoehle/Code/Lisp/slime-1.2.1/"))
; http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/slime-devel/2004-October/002512.html
(autoload 'slime-connect "slime" nil t)
(autoload 'slime "slime" nil t)
(autoload 'slime-selector "slime" "Select a SLIME buffer" t)
(global-set-key "\^Cs" 'slime-selector)
;(load"d:/hoehle/Code/Lisp/slime-1.2.1/swank-loader.lisp")
;(swank:create-server)
;M-x (slime-connect)
;M-TAB slime-complete-symbol e.g. *p-p or m-v-b
;C-c M-i slime-fuzzy-complete-symbol

I usually start a Lisp in the classic inferior-lisp-mode as follows, =
and load silme afterwards.

(defvar lisp-program-choices '())
(setq lisp-program-choices
  '(("jscheme" . "java -cp h:/sspace/archive/jscheme.jar jscheme.REPL")
    ("xquery" . "java -jar =
c:/Programme/Jakarta/jakarta-tomcat-3.3.1/webapps/KBA-NCA/WEB-INF/lib/ka=
wa-1.7.jar --xquery")
    ("kawa" . "java -classpath =
c:/Programme/Jakarta/jakarta-tomcat-3.3.1/webapps/KBA-NCA/WEB-INF/lib/ka=
wa-1.7.jar kawa.repl")
    ("Corman" . "C:\\Programme\\CORMAN~1.0\\clconsole.exe")
    ("clisp-cvs-base" . "S:\\src\\CVS\\clisp\\build-msvc\\lisp.exe -M =
S:\\src\\CVS\\clisp\\build-msvc\\lispinit.mem -Efile UTF-8 -Eterminal =
ISO-8859-1")
))
(defun choose-lisp (program)
  (interactive
   (list (cdr (assoc (completing-read "Run Lisp: " lisp-program-choices =
nil t)
		     lisp-program-choices))))
  (run-lisp program))

OTOH, I could just start SLIME directly -- I just tested it now.
You could replace (run-lisp ...) with (slime ...) to choose among =
several Lisps.

Then clisp starts up as follows:
; CLISP  Port: 3957  Pid: nil
CL-USER>=20

Pid: nil means that ^C will not work. You better get the CVS version of =
slime, where I contributed some patches. Pid will then show a number, =
and if you started lisp.exe directly (not via clisp.exe), ^C will work.

Since you're likely to use some asian character encoding, I urge you to =
use the -Efile/terminal/xyz options of clisp to match your Emacs =
settings and tastes, so that you can make use of non-ASCII characters.
