Hello stayvoid,


You may want to take a look at buildapp [1] (SBCL only) or cl-launch
[2] to help you with the process.  If you want to construct it by
building an image, you should be able to build the image and dump the
core right before calling clfswm:main.  The display information is
gathered when that function is being called.  A quick test here
revealed that there's still an /AUTHORIZATION ISSUE/, perhaps the
capitalization will make someone else will respond to this.  The rest
of this post should give you the general idea though.

In an environment in which you can require 'clfswm (which means you
need the correct libraries available), you should be able to run the
following for a lisp image:
# sbcl --eval "(require 'clfswm)" --eval '(sb-ext:save-lisp-and-die
"clfswm.core" :executable t)'

This will generate a file named clfswm.core which you can execute to
get an sbcl image with clfswm loaded.  You can run
# clfswm.core --eval (clfswm:main) to boot up clfswm.

You could place that command in a script:
#!/bin/sh
/opt/clfswm/clfswm.core --eval "(clfswm:main)"
which you could then feed to startx

I hope this gets you started.  It may help if you attach the
buildscript in a reply.

PS: You'll likely want to have use flags for each of the currently
supported lisp distributions.
