Hi Andy -

roughly (!) the following steps worked for me:

Part I: Sound

1. Get OpenAL (www.openal.org), compile, and install it.

Part II: Fonts

1. Get FreeType (http://www.freetype.org/freetype2/index.html),  
compile, and install it.
2. Get FTGL (http://ftgl.wiki.sourceforge.net/), compile, and install  
it.

Part III: Imaging

(This all depends on what type of images you want to be able to load  
with GraphicsMagick - so it largely depends on what you choose)

(order matters here ...)

1. Get JPEG lib (ftp.uu.net:/graphics/jpeg/jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz or  
ftp.simtel.net:/pub/simtelnet/msdos/graphics/jpegsr6b.zip) - see also  
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/jpeg-faq/part2/section-15.html for more  
info. - Compile and install it.
2. Get LIBPNG (http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html), compile,  
and install it.
3. Get LittleCMS (http://sourceforge.net/projects/lcms), compile ....  
blabla - you get it ;-)
4. Get GHOSTSCRIPT (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php? 
group_id=1897&package_id=108733)
5. Get LIBTIFF (http://www.libtiff.org/) ...
6. Get GraphicsMagick (http://www.GraphicsMagick.org/)

Part IV: Cells

1. Get latest Cells (Cells 3) from CVS via anonymous access from
     common-lisp.net:22/project/cells/cvsroot co cells
2. Make sure you are able to load Cells via ASDF into your Lisp
3. Make sure you can load and run the Cells Tests (load package cells- 
test via ASDF)

Part V: Celtk

1. Get a Tcl/Tk distribution of at least version 8.5 ! (ActiveState  
has a beta version that is ok:
     http://www.activestate.com/Products/activetcl/beta_download.plex)
2. Get latest Celtk from CVS via anonymous access from
     common-lisp.net:22/project/cells/cvsroot co celtk
3. Make sure you are able to Celtk via ASDF.
4. Make sure you can run the demos in Celtk (see file lotsa- 
widgets.lisp)

Part VI: Cello (finally ...)

1. Get latest Cello (Cello 2.0) from CVS via anonymous access from
     common-lisp.net:22/project/cello/cvsroot co cello
2. Locate the sub-directory ftgl-int and compile the C DLL/Library in  
there
3. Locate all *config* files and adapt path names given in there for  
your environment
4. Load Cello via ASDF.

Now you should be there. If there is any "How do I do this ?" in the  
list above I might warn you that this whole process easily can take a  
week when doing it the first time (it took me four weeks to get a  
clean build when first porting Cello to Linux in 2003).

Cello is no "product" yet - so there's a fair amount of try and error  
in this...

Hope this helps - wishing you success

Frank
