Building and running Clim-Desktop with CMUCL under Linux

Wednesday, February 22, 2006

Clim-Desktop is a project recently started by Dwight Holman. It is an integrated Common Lisp development environment based on a number of existing McCLIM applications, and some new ones specifically written for it:

the Climacs text editor
an implementation of the SLIME SWANK protocol for interacting with Lisp listeners
the Beirc IRC client
the Closure web browser
The McCLIM debugger and Clouseaus inspector
an application launcher

More tools are planned. Although still in an early stage of development, Clim-Desktop is showing the power of an integrated environment based on CLIM.

SBCL under Linux is the primary development platform of Clim-Desktop, but it is also possible to build and run it with CMUCL.
