Hello,
I'm new to Graphic-Forms and I was curious if any attempt has been made to get it working with Corman Lisp? If so what do I need to do?
Hi William. Some time ago, I looked into what it would take to port to Corman Lisp. I put the effort aside when I discovered that Corman's implementation of the MOP is based on Closette, and thus lacks sufficient functionality that Closer to MOP is unable to support it. See the email threads: http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/closer-devel/2006-June/000066.html and http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/closer-devel/2006-July/000076.html Graphic-Forms uses the MOP to define event dispatchers that wrap callbacks supplied by the application, so proper MOP support is very important. There may have been other issues with a Corman port that I'm not remembering. -- Jack Unrue
