Scott,
I downloaded and expanded the root.tar.gz file which you gave the link
for, but the instructions in install.txt say to edit the load.lisp file,
which is not included in root.tar.gz. The other version
(cells-gtk-2006-06-30.zip) has a load.lisp file.
Right, in CVS this one is located outside the "root" folder, and thus not
in the tar I linked. You can navigate to it using the CVS linked from the
project page or download it directly:
http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/load.lisp?rev=1.4&root=cells-gtk
I added the gtk path C:\Program Files\Common Files\GTK\2.0\bin; to the
path variable in the control panel. The first time I tried to install
cells-gtk, I hadn't done this, so it failed to install. After I added gtk to
the path, (load "load") installed cells-gtk without any errors, but failed
to run (test-gtk:gtk-demo).
As I said, I have no experience with windows, so I can't speak to that. In
linux thinks are a little easier, because pretty much every distribution
comes with gtk, so that part of the equation can be taken for granted.
Personally I use asdf to load cells-gtk, not the load.lisp facility, but
that's a matter of taste. So feel just stay with the (load "load") for now.
The asdf stuff is a little harder to set up, but once correctly configured,
loading my application automatically pulls in all required libraries
including cells-gtk. Again, no idea how to do this in clisp/windows. I
wrote an introduction for sbcl/linux over here (which I admit is rather
technical):
http://www.washbear-network.de/peterblog/getting-started-with-cells-gtk/
Back to the problem: You saw Ken's post, so I suggest you open
cells-gtk/gtk-app.lisp and feature out the following two lines by putting
#+linux in front of each (about half way into the file):
(g-thread-init +c-null+) ; init threading
(gdk-threads-init)
to
#+linux (g-thread-init +c-null+) ; init threading
#+linux (gdk-threads-init)
Let me know if that helped.
Peter
Is cells-gtk easier to install on another operating system and/or a
different Common Lisp implementation?
