Quoth Helmut Eller <heller@common-lisp.net>:
The ignored argument (_) is the coding system.
Ah. Well that's clear :)
Add the :coding-system argument there
Eh? Surely it's going to depend how the lambda function is called, and regardless of the value of _ I fail to see how this will make it into the call to swank:start-server as it stands.
or look at slime-init-command for the default definition.
I did but it wasn't much help (to me). Anyway, I've finally got it working the brute force way: (setq slime-lisp-implementations '(sbcl ("sbcl" "--core" "/usr/local/lib/sbcl/sbcl.core-with-swank") :init (lambda (port-file _) (format "(swank:start-server %S :coding-system \"utf-8-unix\")\n" port-file)))) Clearly this is not what you meant so it'd be good to know how it should be done. And perhaps it should be added to the manual too. Sebastian -- Emacs' AlsaPlayer - Music Without Jolts Lightweight, full-featured and mindful of your idyllic happiness. http://home.gna.org/eap
