[Able-devel] update: able and mswin
by Daniel Herring 24 Jan '10

24 Jan '10

Hi all, I've made numerous attempts at getting the latest ABLE to run on windows xp, all with no success. The basic issue is that the GUI won't appear until lisp exits! This happens with multiple versions of both clisp and ccl. It may take a while to debug. In the meantime, I did find an old able-0.2.0 for windows; it contains ccl 1.3. I can clean it up, rezip it, and upload that if it would be useful. Later, Daniel

Hello! I was looking for lisp IDE for a newbie. ABLE looks like the only solution 1) still in active development 2) supports sbcl and ccl 3) i hate emacs. So, could you please make a binary for WinXP x32?

[Able-devel] Welcome

Hi all, I'd like to welcome everyone to the ABLE project at cl.net. Upon hearing that Phil could no longer maintain ABLE, I felt compelled to pick up the project. While I don't know anyone who uses ABLE as their primary editor, I join many others who want a graphical environment that Emacs/Slime will probably never offer. While today ABLE is far from the best editor, I believe it provides a useful skeleton for the future, powered by the cross-platform Ltk. This email marks the end of my current round of development. - Master now contains menus! This was a FAQ that bugged me as well, and I made a stab at fixing it. Feel free to submit comments (better, patches) that improve the menu ordering, naming, etc. - The new pb branch contains the beginnings of a package browser/ graphical inspector. To try it, (require :able), (load "pb"), and finally run (package-browser). Both master and pb were developed against http://ltk.rplay.net/svn/branches/ltk/repl revision 215 The pb branch also uses a patch sent to the ltk-user mailing list. http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/ltk-user/2010-January/000697.html If you use ABLE, or would if ABLE just had feature X, please send a message to this list letting us know how to make a better toolset. Please resend requests that Phil may have been working on as well. I'm making no promises to actively maintain ABLE, but this mailing list should be seen as an open tool for the user community. If you have changes to commit, please send diffs (preferably the output of git-format-patch) to this list, and start the subject line with "[patch]". I'll try to quickly vet and push such patches to the repository. If you become a frequent contributor, we can get you permissions on cl.net to push changes directly. Later, Daniel
