Re: All Your GUIs Are Belong to Us (Die, McCLIM! Die!!)

Hi all! I just entered the world of lisp GUI's, and I'm still trying
out cells+celtk under a Windows 2003 machine.

I passed most of the "tricks" Ken placed for newcomers (asdf not
up to date with lpr's, paths to libraries and to movies, etc),
but I'm still having my share of quirks to discuss.

Ah, someone else just reported that. My apologies (and a warning that I
do not use ASDF day to day so those files do not get maintained).

Fortunately, it's easy enough to fix those from the lpr. Question,
quad.lisp is on cells/utils-kt for any particular reason other than to
be a proof-of-concept, or something that has no place in the
dependency-graph? (if so, may I suggest a separate dir, like ./
examples ?)

3. Oddly enough my sbcl chokes on ltktest-ci.

You're lucky. Mine doesn't get to it. I can load everything up to the
point of tk-interp loading, when I get this error when evaluating the
form:

(defcfun ("Tcl_FindExecutable" tcl-find-executable) :void
(argv0 :string))


Here's the error I get:

I don't know if there's something particular I have to change on
the library location in order for sbcl to recognize it, I'm using
something like the following for each library (and it works on ACL):
(define-foreign-library Tcl
(:darwin (:framework "Tcl"))
(:windows (:or "/dev/Tcl/bin/tcl85.dll" "tcl85.dll"))
(:unix "libtcl.so")
(t (:default "libtcl")))

I don't know what to do from here about this. Any clues?


2) Under ACL 7.0, I run into this whenever trying to load your
lotsa-widgets (with the video - I can run it just fine without
them, working great!). I googled the code, but the only thing I
suspect is that it can be about QuikTimeTcl. But I have the
latest library (3.1) , from the site, placed in the lib folder,
properly, so I don't know what can it be[1].

What say you? Is it serious? Does it have a known cure?

[1] Note that I'm not that familiar with Tcl/Tk, I'm installing
it for the first time to use celltk!
