[cells-gtk-devel] Compiling cells-gtk on SBCL

Fri Jun 26 18:30:02 UTC 2009

Hi,

Cells-gtk optionally depends on cl-cairo2, which in turn depends on
trivial-features [ http://www.cliki.net/trivial-features ]. You can
either install it and all its dependencies, preferably using something
like http://common-lisp.net/project/clbuild/ , or you can disable it
if you don't need custom cairo drawing by editing features.lisp (same
about opengl extension).

Regards,
Jakub Higersberger
