[slime-devel] slime-lisp-implementations

The docs don't make this clear, but the first entry in slime-lisp-implementations is always used, no matter the value of slime-default-list, or inferior-lisp-program. Emacs 23.3.1 on Windows XP. Is this the intention? http://common-lisp.net/project/slime/doc/html/Multiple-Lisps.html Thanks, -Luke

That should be slime-default-lisp.

The intention is: 1. if nothing else is specified use inferior-lisp-program 2. if slime-lisp-implementations is specified but a) no slime-default-lisp, just use the first entry b) if slime-default-lisp is specified, use that entry The documentation doesn't spell that out very precisely, but it seems obvious enough. Well, at least to me :-) How would you describe it? Helmut

Well that is embarrassing! I have been setting slime-default-list. Please excuse my ramblings. -Luke
