Is there a free cross platform GUI library available for LISP ?

Do bindings to Tk, Qt, wxWindows,or OpenGL exist ?

Is CLIM free, or not, good for industrial strength GUIs ?

Thanks
-Alex

Not until you write one... :)

Yes, no, no, yes - AFAIK.

That should be <http://ww.telent.net/cliki/Graphics+Toolkit>.  You
can't have spaces in URLs.  Is that some kind of IE-ism?

No, it's actually, er, Konqueror-ism - KDE trying hard to behave like
Windows. Sorry, I was in a hurry and just did copy-and-paste without
proof-reading.

McCLIM - a CLIM implementation, currently for CLX (though it appears
that an OpenGL backend is under development).

If you use common-lisp-controller, I can send you a tarball of some
modified defsystem files for it.
