This page describes how to install McCLIM automatically using Luke Gorrie's clbuild [common-lisp.net].

Prerequisites

These instructions assume that SBCL or OpenMCL are already installed. (clbuild can compile up-to-date SBCL for you, but an existing binary will be required for bootstrapping.)

Also required are darcs, cvs, svn, wget, and git.

Downloading clbuild

clbuild is available through darcs from common-lisp.net

$ darcs get http://common-lisp.net/project/clbuild/clbuild/

Installing McCLIM

$ cd clbuild
clbuild$ chmod +x clbuild

You can try to compile McCLIM in advance (but don't have to):

clbuild$ ./clbuild update mcclim
clbuild$ ./clbuild dumpcore mcclim

To include other applications, specify them instead of mcclim:

clbuild$ ./clbuild update climacs gsharp  #...
clbuild$ ./clbuild dumpcore climacs gsharp  #...

(To use OpenMCL instead of SBCL, edit clbuild.conf)

Running applications

Try one of these:

clbuild$ ./clbuild run demodemo
clbuild$ ./clbuild run listener
clbuild$ ./clbuild run gsharp
clbuild$ ./clbuild run closure
clbuild$ ./clbuild run beirc
clbuild$ ./clbuild run climplayer

McCLIM + gtkairo

Create a clbuild.conf to enable the line CLIM_BACKEND=gtkairo (See clbuild.conf.default for more information.)

Then run any of the examples as explained above.
