David Steuber's UnBlog

Monday, September 12, 2005

A lot of people email me asking for tips on setting up SLIME for different CL implementations. I guess this is because I have posted about SLIME setup a bit on my weblog in the past (see here for the most recent Win32 posting and here for the most recent Mac OS X posting and here for the most recent Mac/LispWorks/SLIME posting). However, my current .emacs configuration looks nothing like what I posted in these earlier weblog entries. As a long-time Emacs user, I find that I am always "tweaking" my .emacs setup to incorporate minor changes and I don't regularly post these updates on my weblog.

Therefore, I was quite pleased to come across David Steuber's '(Lisp Notes (OS X)) page. He not only details a lot of the prerequisites that you need for working with CL on Mac OS X, he also has a nice section on setting up Emacs and SLIME for working with either OpenMCL or SBCL on Mac OS X. In addition, he has a few more pages that cover different aspects of working with CL, Emacs, and SLIME:

David claims that his site is not a blog, but he updates it with sufficient frequency to qualify it as something close to a blog. Well, if 7Up was the UnCola, maybe David Steuber's pages are the UnBlog. ;-) All in all, quite a worthwhile site to point people to.
