[mcclim-devel] Installing problem
by Tuomas Räsänen 15 Mar '07

15 Mar '07

I have succesfully installed mcclim and then I tried to install climacs with asdf. At first all went just ok but then the following debugger message appeared: ; compiling file "/home/tujojura/.sbcl/site/climacs/packages.lisp" (written 12 NOV 2006 11:07:59 PM): ; compiling (IN-PACKAGE :CL-USER) ; compiling (DEFPACKAGE :CLIMACS-GUI ...) debugger invoked on a SB-KERNEL:SIMPLE-PACKAGE-ERROR in thread #<THREAD "initial thread" {A7B9299}>: The name "DREI-BUFFER" does not designate any package. Type HELP for debugger help, or (SB-EXT:QUIT) to exit from SBCL. restarts (invokable by number or by possibly-abbreviated name): 0: [RETRY ] Retry performing #<ASDF:COMPILE-OP NIL {B84A881}> on #<ASDF:CL-SOURCE-FILE "packages" {D010EF9}>. 1: [ACCEPT] Continue, treating #<ASDF:COMPILE-OP NIL {B84A881}> on #<ASDF:CL-SOURCE-FILE "packages" {D010EF9}> as having been successful. 2: [ABORT ] Exit debugger, returning to top level. (SB-INT:%FIND-PACKAGE-OR-LOSE "DREI-BUFFER") 0] mcclims version is the latest asd-package and climacs is from cvs-repository. I have tried to re-install everything but that error keeps occuring. Any suggestions? Thanks, Tuomas

[mcclim-devel] drag and drop highlighting
by Christophe Rhodes 15 Mar '07

15 Mar '07

Hi, Does anyone understand drag and drop? I've got two problems with it, the first of which is (I think) fixed by the attached patch. The first problem is that dragging across a presentation that doesn't have a drag-and-drop translator with it as its to-type causes the system to complain that CLIMI::FEEDBACK has no applicable methods with argument NIL. The resolution is not to try to give presentation-specific feedback if no matching drag-and-drop translator for that presentation to-type exists. The second problem is that dragging across multiple panes doesn't work. If all the panes have scrollbars, then the system complains that there's no applicable method for INVOKE-WITH-SHEET-MEDIUM-BOUND with the sheet being a VIEWPORT-PANE -- presumably the viewport-pane doesn't have an associated medium? If the panes don't have scrollbars, then I get a little bit further, losing in INVOKE-WITH-OUTPUT-RECORDING-OPTIONS on a VRACK-PANE. Does anyone have any bright ideas on dealing with the latter, or comments on my patch for the former? Best, Christophe

[mcclim-devel] clim-graphic-forms
by David Lichteblau 15 Mar '07

15 Mar '07

Hi, Jack Unrue's very promising Windows backend is now available in McCLIM CVS, under the name clim-graphic-forms. The backend is largely dysfunctional at this point, but after convincing myself that I would be able to understand it if necessary, I decided to get things going and commit it anyway. With my changes, the address book reacts to mouse and keyboard input a little. It still does not draw itself properly, and I believe that anyone starting to hack clim-graphic-forms should probably start looking at that first. (Demodemo does not work either, so that would be worth fixing, too.) You can find graphic-forms support for clbuild in my tree at http://www.lichteblau.com/blubba/clbuild David

Dear CL.net admins, Jack D. Unrue (junrue) is working on the clim-graphics-forms backend to mcclim, so we think he should be able to commit to it. Project: mcclim, user name: junrue. Thanks, -- Andreas Fuchs, (http://|im:asf@|mailto:asf@)boinkor.net, antifuchs

[mcclim-devel] Bug? in accepting values
by Robert Goldman 08 Mar '07

08 Mar '07

If I have a command with a default value for its single argument, and I issue the command, I get the accepting-values dialog, with a single input gadget containing the default value. I look at it and I say "That looks fine." So I press the OK. Then McCLIM complains that I haven't provided a value for all of the arguments. What McCLIM "wants" me to do is to select the argument input field, press RET to explicitly accept the default, and then press OK. This isn't really a bug, but seems pointlessly cumbersome... I'll see if I can fix it, but I'm probably not the optimal person to do so...

[mcclim-devel] Patch for DREI input editor
by Robert Goldman 08 Mar '07

08 Mar '07

I believe that I have found the reason why argument handling was not working for me. The bug was that when I selected an object as an argument, it was drawn in the argument space as a string, and then reparsed. The above works fine for arguments that can nicely be turned into strings and then parsed back (Christophe, your example of CLOS class names in the listener falls into this class of argument), but it doesn't work well with things that cannot be parsed from strings. The error was a flipped if statement, way down in the drei input editor, in present-acceptably-to-string. This if statement stripped off the object information from an argument when it was *successfully* presented to a string, rather than when it was *unsuccessfully* presented. I attach a patch file. Unless someone finds a mistake, I will commit it tomorrow before the weekend. Best, Robert

[mcclim-devel] Anonymously committing tickets
by Samium Gromoff 06 Mar '07

06 Mar '07

Good day Erik, once again, Thank you for setting up Trac for McCLIM! There is one question though: the wiki at http://common-lisp.net/trac-intro.shtml mentions that anonymous users are allowed to create tickets. It is not apparent, though, how this can be done. Do you have ideas about that? regards, Samium Gromoff

[mcclim-devel] Two questions about McCLIM
by Robert Goldman 06 Mar '07

06 Mar '07

1. It seems from a recent conversation on #lisp that pointer selection of presentations in McCLIM doesn't work. Is that correct? Was this made so on purpose, or is it a bug? 2. When I type a command name in the interactor pane, the command is executed, however if I try to accept that command name as a command name, it is NOT acceptable, and mousing on the individual words reveal that each is a separate string-type presentation. Is this a bug? Should the command name somehow be recognizable as a command name? And if so, how might this be accomplished?

My design-employed significant other created a pixel-identical copy, modulo aliasing, of the McCLIM logo visual at http://common-lisp.net/project/mcclim/ It can be found at: http://www.feelingofgreen.ru/static/incoming/mcclim.png and is as free to use, as the original version is. regards, Samium Gromoff
