Hi,
I have a question concerning CM 2.10 on Vista32 with Cygwin and
Clisp2.46.
Would anyone have a hint on getting CM to load and start from cygwin-
bash (and xemacs M-x prompt) by just typing "cm" on the above system?
At the moment it loads all the fasls but exits back to the normal
bash prompt for me.
Background:
I installed Clisp2.46 through the Cygwin.setup installer.
I have created a symbolic link to cm.sh in the /bin directory.
When I type cm at the cygwin-bash prompt, the .fasls are loaded and
the CM logo appears, but then the shell returns to the normal bash
prompt.
I discovered from reading through the archives that the cm.bat file
may be necessary for this to work.
However, no cm.bat file is generated in /usr/local/lisp/cm/bin/ when
I start clisp from the cygwin-bash and (load "/path/to/cm.lisp")
This also means that setq-ing the cm-program to the cm.bat file in
the .xemacs/init.el is not possible.
When I start clisp from the cygwin-bash shell (or xemacs-slime), then
(load "/usr/local/lisp/cm/src/cm.lisp") everything functions fine;
however, when at the cygwin-bash prompt I type
cm -l clisp
or
clisp -x "(load \"/usr/local/lisp/cm/src/cm.lisp\")"
the same thing happens as I described above: all the .fasls are
loaded, the logo appears, and the shell returns to the normal bash
prompt.
I am setting up CM for a teaching situation.
Although I can get it to work by loading everything separately
(either through xemacs-slime or bash-shell clisp then load cm.lisp),
an environment where the students can just type "cm" would be much
easier on their command-line-challenged brains.
Thanks for any assistance,
Sean
