Sorry to raise something that has probably been asked and answered umpteen
times.
I have been looking forward to trying clojure for quite some time. I
appreciate that clojure and its ecosystem is undergoing rapid
development. However, I have spent the last day and a half trying to get
either aquamacs or gnu emacs working with slime and clojure, with no
success.
BTW, I have used aquamacs with slime and Common Lisp (ccl, sbcl) for a long
time now. I know those are older, more stable languages, but good golly - I
had aquamacs+slime+ccl set up in about an hour.
Is their a reliable set of instructions to set up slime with clojure
somewhere?
I have followed instructions from a half dozen different web pages. They are
rich in magic incantations which fail (possibly because I'm dense). I *think
*I followed the instructions on the Getting Started with Emacs page linked
to from the clojure site, but - it did not work. Perhaps my attitude is
wrong, but the user comments on the Getting Started page basically
demolished my confidence in the information there.
I won't post error messages yet, although it may come to that shortly.
I would prefer to use aquamacs, but would settle for GNU Emacs. What I want
to start with is the simplest set of things that will give me a clojure REPL
in aquamacs/emacs.
In the absence of reliable installation instructions (or perhaps even
preferable to them), is there a description somewhere of the final target
state that my system should be in? That is, I actually do NOT *really* want
to use any of the following, unless absolutely required:
- an Emacs Starter Kit
- a development version of GNU Emacs, i.e. v.24
- any kind of package manager for Emacs
- any kind of project build system for clojure, i.e. leiningen
All of the above appear to me to be well-intended help, any or all of
which have broken on me as I tried this. Instead I would prefer to know what
files I need in what locations. But then, who am I to boss y'all around on
how to help me ;-)
My setup:
- Snow Leopard 10.6.8
- aquamacs 2.3a
- GNU Emacs 24
- clojure and clojure-contrib from macports, whatever their latest is
- Slime-related jar files and elisp files littered all over the place
that didn't do me any good
TIA.
