E.g. you download CLISP here: http://clisp.cons.org/ (check for download link for win32 on the right). Install it to c:\lisp\clisp-2.48 Then you should set (setq inferior-lisp-program "c:/lisp/clisp-2.48/clisp.exe") Also, here's a better way to configure SLIME: (add-to-list 'load-path "c:/slime") (add-to-list 'load-path "c:/slime/contrib") (require 'slime) (slime-setup '(slime-fancy)) (setq inferior-lisp-program "c:/lisp/clisp-2.48/clisp.exe") This will load all fancy features too so you have a full experience.
From: Haris Bogdanovic on 2 Mar 2010 13:11 Ok, I installed slime in emacs but I'm confused now. Load-file doesn't work anymore. What things have changed now, opposite to emacs lisp ? Does elisp or clisp evaluate expression now and with what command, C-x C-e ? Every time I start emacs I type M-x slime to start it. How can I automate that ? Is there in *slime-repl-clisp* cursor up command like in command prompt to get last (previous) entry ? How do I load lisp file now, to get it visible to clisp ? This is in my init.el: (setq inferior-lisp-program "C:/lisp/clisp-2.48/clisp.exe") (add-to-list 'load-path "c:/lisp/slime") (add-to-list 'load-path "c:/lisp/slime/contrib") (require 'slime) (slime-setup '(slime-fancy))
From: Captain Obvious on 2 Mar 2010 14:41 HB> Ok, I installed slime in emacs but I'm confused now. HB> Load-file doesn't work anymore. load-file is for loading code into Emacs itself. It is not in any way related to Common Lisp programs/files. After installing SLIME it should work just as it was working before. HB> What things have changed now, opposite to emacs lisp ? SLIME doesn't change things, it adds new things -- now your Emacs supports working with Common Lisp. You can see a lot of different "buffers" in your Emacs. Buffer is roughly like a window -- it can represent an open file or some other feature. SLIME only works in buffers which are somehow related to SLIME. Other buffers are unaffected. Those SLIME buffers are: * SLIME REPL -- that's where you enter interactive commands. You can have more than one REPL, but it's better to have just one to avoid mess. * Common Lisp source files. SLIME is automatically enabled for some file extensions, for example, *.lisp. It is a recommeneded extension. That is, you should write your program's source code into a file, say, foo.lisp, and then SLIME will be enabled automatically for this file. Of course, you can have more than one file. If you open a file which does not exists yet from Emacs, Emacs will create it for you. You can see what mode you're working in buffer's status line. You can also enable SLIME mode for any file regardless of its name. * SLIME scratch -- if you want to write some code without saving it to a file, but you don't like editing it in REPL, you can use scratch buffer. It can be opened via M-x slime-scratch. HB> Does elisp or clisp evaluate expression now and with what command, C-x HB> C-e ? If you're in one of SLIME's buffers -- either editing source code or in slime-scratch, clisp will evaluate it. Otherwise that might be elisp or something else. Yes, C-x C-e is one of commands to evaluate something. There are other commands too. Perhaps, more frequently used is C-M-x (called slime-eval-defun), it is better because it automatically evaluates a whole function or expression so you don't need to worry about that. There is a similar command C-c C-c (called slime-compile-defun) -- a close relative to slime-eval-defun, but it compiles a function rather than merely evaluates it. It will automatically highlight warnings if you're lucky enough. You can find a full list of commands in SLIME's manual, check section 3. http://common-lisp.net/project/slime/doc/html/ HB> Every time I start emacs I type M-x slime to start it. How can I HB> automate that ? Add (slime) to the end of your init.el. HB> Is there in *slime-repl-clisp* cursor up command like in command prompt HB> to get last (previous) entry ? Yes, M-p goes to previous command, M-n goes to next. HB> How do I load lisp file now, to get it visible to clisp ? If you're going to work with this file, open it in Emacs (File -> visit file -> enter filename, use TAB for completion), then you should see SLIME menu available from this file, and you can choose Compilation -> Compile/Load file. That will compile and load a whole file into clisp. After that, you can edit functions and evaluate or compile them one by one, without a need to recompile whole file. But you can still compile a whole file, if you edited a lot, for example. Note that Emacs menus often have keybindings listed near commands, this is very useful -- you can call a lot of stuff from menus without learning keys, but later memorize keys if you do some command frequently. If you do not want to view or edit this file, but just load it into clisp, you can use command slime-load-file or call Common Lisp function directly in the REPL, e.g. (load "c:\\lisp\\source\\foo.lisp") In later case you need to be careful with relative pathnames, clisp's idea of what the current directory is might be different from Emacs' idea. Finally, if you have a program which comprises multiple files, there is a way to organize it in a nice way, so dependencies are loaded properly etc. It is called ASDF. It is an advanced topic, I'm only mentioning it so you don't have an impression that people who program in Common Lisp load their programs loading files one by one manually. There are better ways to deal with larger programs, but if you work on a small program, one file is OK.

It opens whole new menus when working with *.lisp file. When I enetered M-x load-file in elisp, whole file was like evaluated so I could call functions from it in *scratch*. When I load-file and then try to call some function from *slime-repl-clisp* it is not recognized. What to I have to do when I open file or add some code to it so it gets recognized by slime: save it and then load/compile or compile ? I cannot like evaluate the whole file ? It appears that slime gets disconnected sometimes so all slime menus become greyed and I have to enter M-x slime to get it work again. Why is that ? Can I set default directory for emacs when I press open file or enter M-x load-file ? Why does emacs ask me do I want another buffer *inferior-lisp* ? |
