After hearing so much about CLIM and McCLIM.
I decide to give McCLIM a spin, but following the installation
instructions on Getting Started
with McCLIM.
Which doesn't work out, either the instructions where wrong on the
site or I missed something they may have left out. I dunno, from what
I hear it works out pretty well under Linux with CMUCL 18e.
Hopefully some NetBSD or BSD lisp user can enlighten me to how they
got McCLIM to play nice with NetBSD. I'm mainly interested in getting
McCLIM to run with sbcl or cmucl under NetBSD.
I've tried this 3 times all ready today and for the past 5 weeks I
have been trying to figure this out. Things usually bomb out when
trying to build the system. Following the instructions at:

Has McCLIM not been tested or ported to work with BSD systems?

Under SBCL, the following worked fine [1] for me:
* (asdf-install:install :mcclim)
[1] I don't have gpg installed on the host where I ran this, and so
skipped the gpg checks.

I've built and used McCLIM on SBCL on NetBSD/x86 many times over the
last 4 years. All the demos, the listener, debugger, and inspector
all work fine there modulo SBCL's lack of threads on that platform.

I think you must have read an old resource (sadly, these are very
common in the CLIM world). For a longish time, McCLIM did not work on
CMUCL due to a bug in CMUCL's implementation of forward-referenced
classes. This bug was fixed semi-recently in both SBCL and CMUCL, and
thus needs a fairly recent version to run. CMUCL 18e is almost
certainly too old.

I don't think McCLIM has any OS-specific-issues, so unless SBCL or
CMUCL are known to be quirky on NetBSD, you should not have
trouble. Most McCLIM hackers use SBCL, so that's what I'd recommend
you use as well. McCLIM should also be ASDF-Installable, so if
possible, I'd recommend you install it that way. Even if you want the
CVS version of McCLIM, you might still want to ASDF-Install it first
to get all the dependencies.

I don't think I have ever heard a report of McCLIM running on a BSD,
but I see no reason why it should not work, as long as the underlying
Lisp implementation does.

No luck at all with CMUCL is my experience.

Using FreeBSD and SBCL I have had no problems.
