I have installed cells-gtk3 following the very helpful instructions at: http://www.washbear-network.de/peterblog/getting-started-with-cells-gtk/
and thought my notes might be useful. I'm pretty much a noob, having flirted on and off with lisp without ever getting serious. For the record, I'm running ubuntu 8.04, sbcl 1.0.11.debian. 0. I followed the instructions at the address above. (require 'test-gtk) gave me trouble on a foreign function call definition (I think). Decided to get the required packages from source control... 1. CFFI from darcs requires alexandria, babel and trivial-features, which I couldn't find via google, but noticed in the output from cl-build: "http://common-lisp.net/~loliveira/datcs/trivial-features";. Maybe this is more obvious to others. 2. libgtkglext1 is not installed by default (fixed w/ apt-get) 3. (start-app 'test-gtk) drops to the debugger with The value of STRING is #(71 84 75 32 84 101 115 116 105 110 ...), which is not of type STRING. [Condition of type SIMPLE-TYPE-ERROR] Backtrace: 0: (SB-KERNEL:CHECK-TYPE-ERROR STRING #(71 84 75 32 84 101 ...) STRING NIL) 1: (CFFI:FOREIGN-STRING-ALLOC #(71 84 75 32 84 101 ...)) 2: (GTK-FFI::GTK_WINDOW_SET_TITLE #.(SB-SYS:INT-SAP #X080C3A30) #(71 84 75 32 84 101 ...)) 3: ((FLET #:BODYFN3524)) 4: (GTK-WINDOW-SET-TITLE #.(SB-SYS:INT-SAP #X080C3A30) "GTK Testing") I don't know where to go from here. Any hints or suggestions would be appreciated.
