I'm a lisp and slime newbie.
I just tried slime with these components and it is barfing for me as well.
GNU Emacs 21.3.1 GNU bash, version 3.00.16(11)-release (i686-pc-cygwin) GNU CLISP 2.35 (2005-08-29) (built on winsteingoldlap.bluelnk.net [192.168.7.100]) slime -- checked out of CVS this evening (Sun Dec 18 03:07:16 UTC 2005) Windows XP Pro
for me, I type M-x slime, the inferior lisp buffer appears and then I see these errors:
clisp> (load "c:/cygwin/home/Jonathan/elisp/slime/slime/swank-loader.lisp" :verbose t) clisp> (swank:start-server "c:/DOCUME~1/Jonathan/LOCALS~1/Temp/slime.1456" :external-format :iso-latin-1-unix) clisp> [...] clisp> Copyright (c) Bruno Haible, Michael Stoll 1992, 1993 clisp> [...] clisp> clisp> [1]> clisp> *** - LOAD: A file with name clisp> /c/cygwin/home/Jonathan/elisp/slime/slime/swank-loader.lisp does not clisp> exist clisp> The following restarts are available: clisp> ABORT :R1 ABORT clisp> Break 1 [2]>
Since it looked like the path was bad, I tried manually loading the desired file like this:
clisp> Break 2 [6]> (load "/cygdrive/c/cygwin/home/Jonathan/elisp/slime/slime/swank-loader.lisp")
and it ended with this:
clisp> The following functions were used but are deprecated: clisp> clisp> SET - This function name is anachronistic. Use SETF SYMBOL-VALUE instead. clisp> 0 errors, 2 warnings clisp> WARNING: These Swank interfaces are unimplemented: clisp> (ACTIVATE-STEPPING ADD-FD-HANDLER ADD-SIGIO-HANDLER ALL-THREADS clisp> CALLS-WHO clisp> DISASSEMBLE-FRAME FIND-THREAD INSPECT-FOR-EMACS INTERRUPT-THREAD clisp> RECEIVE clisp> REMOVE-FD-HANDLERS REMOVE-SIGIO-HANDLERS SEND SLDB-BREAK-AT-START clisp> SLDB-BREAK-ON-RETURN SPAWN THREAD-ID TOGGLE-TRACE WHO-MACROEXPANDS clisp> WHO-SPECIALIZES) clisp> ;; Loaded file /cygdrive/c/cygwin/home/Jonathan/elisp/slime/slime/swank-loader.lisp clisp> T
Can anyone help me?
It looks like lots of other people are reporting slime/clisp/cygwin problems ...
For now I think I'll just go back to using the inf-lisp.el mode.
It would be nice to get the alledgedly powerful slime working though.
