Hello cells-devel list.
I am investigating cells and cells-gtk3 for a project that I am planning. For a starter, I needed to get the software running on my Debian unstable system. It needed a few patches that you may wish to take into your development.
The version of cells that I use is taken with
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous:anonymous@common-lisp.net:/project/cells/cvsroot co cells
That is the most actual one, yes?
Well, the sbcl on Debian unstable (1.0.18) does not have nor need the EXCL package. So it
must be configured out:

The sbcl does not have the MOP package - it is called SB-MOP. Much of the code knows
that already, but I had to patch one file:
diff -u -r cells/utils-kt/detritus.lisp cl/cells/utils-kt/detritus.lisp

After that, I tried to run the test suite. Worked fine, except that
it is a little bit too Window'ish. I did this:
diff -u -r cells/cells-test/test.lisp cl/cells/cells-test/test.lisp

but that is not what you want to go in the main sources. Maybe something based on
the features - (dribble #+unix "/tmp/cells-test.txt" #-unix "c:/0algebra/cells-test.txt") -
or perhaps just a file name parameter to TEST-CELLS with the above as the default value?
Hope this is of a little help to you. I am sure to come back for assistance for my
project later.
best regards
