Corman Lisp in Emacs problem fixed
Sunday, November 23, 2003
I've been having problems with Corman Lisp in Emacs since Corman version 1.5. I've exchanged posts with people on the Corman mailing list and there have been multiple posts by other people who have had the same problems. Yesterday, someone posted to comp.lang.lisp the following solution to this issue:
"Open the file 'C:Program FilesCorman....init.lisp', then remove or comment out this line (#3):I tried it with Corman using inferior lisp mode in Emacs and it worked! It also worked in Shell mode (Corman had been failing in inferior lisp mode, shell mode and ilisp mode in Emacs previously) but I'm having a few problems still with ILISP. This is really good news as Corman is a low-cost (free for non-commercial use) Common Lisp implementation that runs under MS Windows and it is nice to be able to use it with Emacs. When I (or somebody else) has ironed out all the setup steps necessary to get Corman working properly with ILISP, I'll update the CL Cookbook page Setting up an IDE with Emacs on Windows or Mac OS X.(setf (current-directory) *cormanlisp-directory*)"
