Setting up an environment on OSX
Posted: Sun Jun 02, 2013 12:33 pm
I am an old lisper, but I have been having a hard time jumping back in because I can not set up an environment.
For instance, allegro's alisp just timed out and I dont know how to get it back (I installed their IDE, but getting a project going is stumping me)-- I know emacs and can make that work.
Clozure CL64 seems like a workable system, should I use that?
Then I tried to get some software loaded, and I am having a tough time. For instance CL-JSON is available via git, so I cloned that into ~/lisp/cl-json but it has a file cl-json.asd that I think I am supposed to load, but I dont know how.
So my question:
Is there a set of init files I someone recommends? Is there an IRC or forum for folks like me? How should I get this going? Anyone in the bay area that wants to work together on something like this? Thank you!
thank you!
