Hi Lispers,

has anybody some experience with GUI development in CLISP?
Any recommendations (needs not to be platform independent)?

I tried:
- JFLI (too much LispWorks stuff)
- Simple Qt (alpha status)
- TK binding (ugly)

Tile[1] looks a lot better, IMHO, but I don't know if it already works
with LTK.

I am curious about Tile. From what I have seen, isn't it a seperate
set of widgets rather a theming facility? The latter would be more
useful.

Tile is a theming engine, and it also adds some new widgets. I don't
know that much about it, since I just had a look at it about one year
ago, when I was playing around with the Ruby Tk-bindings. I was
disappointed by the TK-look and tried Tile, which looked a *lot*
better to me. In Ruby, I just had to add two or three lines to my code
in order to use it. I don't know if it's that easy with LTK, since I
haven't used it till now. Maybe the ltk-user list is a better place to
ask about it.

I hope I won't get stoned or worse for my mentioning of the ineffable
inferior scripting language. Forgive me for I did not know what I was
doing. May I be spared from St. Kennys furious anger.

Regards,

I dunno about tile.  But if you want a prettier Tk, just go grab Tcl/Tk
8.5a6 http://www.tcl.tk/software/tcltk/8.5.html

Cl-fltk  ? 

Sadly seems to have stalled since 2006.

I'm quite happy using LTK. It is quite portable. I've been able to
move LTK-based code between Linux/CMUCL, FreeBSD/SBCL and Windows/
Cygwin/CLisp with no changes.
