[cells-devel] Which cellsy lisp GUI?
Hi-- a question for the cognoscenti: which of the various Cells-based GUI toolkits is the easiest to pick up and use on an experimental project? I know there's a Cells/GTK mix, a Cell/Tk one which was getting a lot of discussion some time ago, and the sunlit uplands of Cello. Any recommendations? I have a simple GUI client in mind, nothing too fancy. regards Tiarnan -- difficile est saturam non scribere

Tough call. Cells-gtk got a lot of work when Peter Hildebrandt jumped in, but it's not clear he got itall merged with the mainline so you might have to reach out to him for the latest/greatest. I like Tcl/Tk over GTk so I am partial to Celtk. Frank Goenninger has recently been cleaning up Cello so that might not be completely unapproachable. OpenGL is pretty, but you don't get the widget sets of Tk or Gtk. kt
Hi-- thanks for the prompt reply. I think I'll try Celt, but where to get it? cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@common-lisp.net:/project/cells/cvsroot co celtk doesn't do the job. Where can I get the latest? thanks Tiarnan

According to http://common-lisp.net/faq.shtml a command like cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous:anonymous@common-lisp.net:/project/cells/cvsroot co Celtk should work. As for cells-gtk, I have created a fork http://github.com/Ramarren/cells-gtk3/tree/master to make it run with newest versions of its dependencies, and recently tried to cleanup types (there was at least on place where an int argument was declared as float, and one where there was :int instead of :int32, so perhaps it works now on 64-bit systems, although I don't have on to check), so you might also want to try that.

And that work is currently on hold due to paying clients making me do something else... So: If anyone needs an easy one: Celtk, definitely. I still use it for quick hacks and it really works. Cheers Frank -- Frank Goenninger Cell: +49 175 4321058 E-Mail: frgo@me.com
Thanks. I'm missing one piece at the moment: "gui-geometry". Where can I download that? regards T
It's part of Cells (and, in fact, is a sub-directory under cells). hth Frank Am 24.06.2009 um 11:54 schrieb Tiarnan O'Corrain:

Thanks! I had an older version of cells (via asdf-install), which didn't have it. regards Tiarnan
