Thanks for this; I shall examine the install carefully. /Greg Bennett *** On Sat, 2013-12-14 at 10:29 +0800, Rujia Liu wrote:

Hi!

I'm a happy user of commonqt. with-main-window was added in September 2013, in this commit:

https://github.com/stassats/commonqt/commit/4f78c74e523c7b8fbfc503a4aa969348...

qapp.lisp:

+(defmacro with-main-window ((window form) &body body)

• `(progn

• (make-qapplication)
  

• (with-objects ((,window ,form))
  

•   ,@body
  

•   (#_show ,window)
  

•   (#_exec *qapplication*))))
  

So either your commonqt copy is not new, or you placed your git clone in a wrong place so that you're still using an old version of commonqt.

I didn't run tests but so far there wasn't anything that prevented me from building the project I want.

    I am a tad stuck in trying to use commonqt, and would
    appreciate a
    pointer to assistance.

    (1) In trying to run the example pointed to on the page

    http://common-lisp.net/project/commonqt/#main-window

    as the lisp version of the currency-conversion code, and thus
    in a
    package which apparently references qt, in a fresh ccl
    I am told that there is no  with-main-window  function. This
    string
    is also referred to as a macro on the above page.

    It would seem that I am missing it, so a pointer to its
    definition
    would be helpful.

    (2) Way down in a git clone, where commonqt lives, there is a
    test
    subdirectory containing 3 files, one of which is package.lisp
    which holds only this definition:
    (defpackage :qt-tests
        (:use :cl :rt :qt :iterate))
    The package qt-tests is the one within which the tests.lisp
    code is to
    run. Issuing the above defpackage ->

    Error There is no package named "RT"

    so, again, I seem stuck for lack of knowledge.

    Thanks for any and all assistance.

    Cheers /Greg Bennett
