This directory contains CLX, an X11 client library for Common Lisp. The code was originally taken from a CMUCL distribution, was modified somewhat in order to make it compile and run under SBCL, then a selection of patches were added from other CLXes around the net. = Features - SHAPE extension support (Gilbert Baumann) - X authority support that works with ssh forwarding (Eric Marsden via CMUCL) - OPEN-DEFAULT-DISPLAY function, as the name suggests, does that (dan) - various bug fixes (Iban Hatchondo and a cast of several) = Building 0. You need SBCL 0.7.13 or any later release 1. Untar this tree somewhere 2. Add a symlink to clx.asd from one of the directories listed in your asdf:*central-registry* If that makes no sense to you yet, choose one of - 2a. personal installation: $ cd $HOME/.sbcl/systems # you may have to create this directory $ ln -s /path/to/clx/source/clx.asd . 2b. systemwide installations: you need to ask SBCL where it lives $ sbcl --noinform --eval '(format t "~A~%" (posix-getenv "SBCL_HOME"))'
