[cl-debian] Bug#316237: ITP: cl-clg -- GTK and Glade bindings for Common Lisp

Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: "René van Bevern" <rvb@pro-linux.de> * Package name : cl-clg Version : 0.90 Upstream Author : Espen S. Johnsen * URL : http://sf.net/projects/clg * License : LGPL, MIT Description : GTK and Glade bindings for Common Lisp CLG provides bindings to GTK 2.6 and Glade in a Lisp-like manner. There are other GTK bindings for Common Lisp, all of them which have some disadvantages IMHO: cl-clg: Supports GTK 2.6, works fine on CMUCL, needs modifications to SBCLs FFI to support callbacks. The second issue is about to be solved, at least there are discussions and work on the SBCL development mailinglist about including these modifications. cl-gtk: Supports GTK 2.0, not as recent as CLG and talks down a pipe to a daemon like CLM. Tricky to build on recent CMUCL and SBCL. lambda-gtk: Suffers from the same problem als cl-clg, but its interface is not very lisp-alike at all. lgtk: lacks a lot of GTK 2.0 functionality, resembles the C-API as much as possible (imho a downside) cl-clg comes with example programs and the whole GTK test suite translated to CL, as well as an GTK based inspector. It cleanly compiles with CMUCL and SBCL from unstable (after the FFI modifications that are to be found http://jupiter.td.org.uit.no/lisp/sbcl-0.8.21-af.tar.gz and could also be packaged) René

Hi, Preliminary packages of the cl-clg GTK bindings are available for testing on: deb-src ftp://progn.org/debian unstable main René
