Re: [clisp-list] GUI in CLISP; problem compiling Garnet...

I'm glad to see I am not the only one to use garnet these days...!

| actually, I have the opposite problem: Garnet more-or-less works with
| nclx but not at all with mit-clx. Here is a message I sent here in
| March: 
| 
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 
| It doesn't work correctly with CLISP: with nclx it seems to miss some
| refresh events (windows sometimes stay undrawn), and the logo in the
| demos section doesn't display in color. It doesn't work at all with
                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This may be caused by a problem with "true-color" screen support. This 
problem is fixed in Fred Gilham <gi...@cs...>'s version
(thanks to Paolo for this information. It did not solved my problem
with clisp but it did solve the color problem.)

In this version (maybe it should be called garnet-3.0.x) the pixmap
problem is partially solved. Garnet was not able to load pixmaps with 
depth > 8. Now It displays correctly the first half of the pixmap!

| mit-clx (nor indeed do basic CLX demos): there are problems with setf
| functions being hidden by setf-expanders:

Actually I am using garnet with allegro, this was my first try with 
nclx/clisp. I will try mit-clx and see if I get the same problem.

| when loading garnet:
| 
|   WARNING:
|   The function (SETF XLIB:GCONTEXT-FUNCTION) is hidden by a SETF expander.
|   WARNING:
|   The function (SETF XLIB:GCONTEXT-FOREGROUND) is hidden by a SETF expander.
|   WARNING:
|   The function (SETF XLIB:GCONTEXT-BACKGROUND) is hidden by a SETF expander.
|   [...]
| 
| then when running:
| 
|   *** - FUNCALL: the function #:|(SETF XLIB:WINDOW-PLIST)| is undefined
| 
| 
| I think the problem is in the mit-clx/depdefs.lsp:def-clx-class macro,
| which seems to be emulating CLOS with structures, but it's too hairy
| for me to understand.
