Hi,

I have xemacs and clisp that came with the cygwin distribution. I just downloaded slime-1.0 and put the following in my custom.el file:

(add-to-list 'load-path "C:\Linux\slime-1.0\") (add-hook 'lisp-mode-hook (lambda () (slime-mode t))) (add-hook 'inferior-lisp-mode-hook (lambda () (inferior-slime-mode t))) (setq inferior-lisp-program "clisp -K full") (require 'slime) (slime-setup)

Now, when I load slime (via M-x slime) I got: [1]> *** - PARSE-NAMESTRING: syntax error in filename "c:\Linux\slime-1.0\swank-loader.lisp" at position 2 Break 1 [2]> *** - READ from #<IO TERMINAL-STREAM>: there is no package with name "SWANK" Break 2 [3]> "C:\DOCUME~1\stebakov\LOCALS~1\Temp\slime.2036" Break 2 [3]>

Could anyone give me some info what I can do to fix it?

You have to translate the filenames between windows xemacs and clisp if cygwin.

I tried to post my cygmount fixes here, but it didn't get through. So I post the url instead: http://xarch.tu-graz.ac.at/autocad/lsp_tools/ntemacs/cygwin32-mount.el

.emacs: ;; SLIME load-path (if (eq system-type 'windows-nt) (add-to-list 'load-path (concat invocation-directory "..\..\site-packages\lisp\slime")) (add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/xemacs/site-packages/lisp/slime")) (require 'easy-mmode) (defalias 'define-minor-mode 'easy-mmode-define-minor-mode) (if (require 'slime) (slime-setup)) (if (eq system-type 'windows-nt) (setq inferior-lisp-program "n:/bin/clisp.exe -K full -ansi -q -L ENGLISH -N locale -Efile UTF-8 -Eterminal UTF-8" ;swank-backend "/cygwin/w/XEmacs/site-packages/lisp/slime/swank-loader" ) ;; (setq inferior-lisp-program "R:\lisp\clisp\clisp-2.33-win\clisp.bat -ansi -q -L ENGLISH -Efile UTF-8 -Eterminal UTF-8") (setq inferior-lisp-program "/usr/local/bin/clisp-full" ;swank-backend "/cygdrive/w/XEmacs/site-packages/lisp/slime/swank-loader" )) (require 'cygwin32-mount) (require 'npak-cygwin) (defun myslime-cygwin-filename (filename) (if (eq system-type 'windows-nt) ; and lisp is cygwin (npak-cygwin-fix-file-name (replace-in-string filename "//c/" "" (replace-in-string filename "\\" "/"))) filename)) ;;(setq filename "w:\XEmacs\site-packages\lisp\slime\swank-loader") (defun myslime-translate-to-lisp-filename-function (fn) (let ((x (if (eq system-type 'windows-nt) ; and lisp is cygwin (cygwin32-mount-name-expand #'identity filename) ;(replace-in-string filename "//c/" "" ; (replace-in-string filename "\\" "/"));) filename))) (message x) x)) (defun myslime-translate-from-lisp-filename-function (filename) (let ((x (if (eq system-type 'windows-nt) ; and lisp is cygwin (cygwin32-mount-name-reverse #'identity filename) ;;(npak-cygwin-fix-file-name (replace-in-string filename "\\" "/")) filename))) (message x) x)) ;(setq inferior-lisp-program-type 'cygwin)

I finished now filename conversion from win32 <=> cygwin in slime.el, which is a major hackery. parsing the output of mount, table lookup. based on cygwin32-mount.el

The problem remains:

slime.el easily detects if emacs is win32 native or cygwin or unix. but how does it detect under which OS/Filesystem convention the inferior lisp will run? how to get the mounttable of the filesystem of the lisp?

should we add a inferior-lisp-ostype defcustom? should be parse the output of the startup banner to detect the filesystem convention? "loading /home/...."

for example w32 emacs calling a linux acl, w32 emacs calling cygwin clisp, w32 emacs calling w32 clisp, cygwin xemacs calling w32 clisp, ... you get the idea. I also want to switch between clisp cygwin and clisp native. (better GC)

If we add that feature, we can at least use automatic cygwin path translation. See the attachment: It is also a good example how to translate with a mount table alist.

The real pain was that latest clisp (CVS) doesn't understand these filenames anymore: (LOAD "w:/XEmacs/site-packages/lisp/slime/swank-loader") It has to be translated to (LOAD "/cygdrive/w/XEmacs/site-packages/lisp/slime/swank-loader")

Another problem on clisp with cygwin/w32 switching: the fas files are incompatible, but the temp path is the same. I'd like to add the ostype to the path on clisp. no patches yet.
