[ltk-user] Cross platform distribution?

[Joshua Kordani]

Greetings all,

I've been very interested in locating an easy to distribute, cross 
platform gui library that will allow for gui development in common 
lisp.  After finding out about tclkits and seeing how small they are, I 
get the impression that this goal is reachable via distribution of the 
platform specific tclkit along with a common lisp image (with ltk 
configured to locate the supplied tclkit).  I didn't find an archive of 
this list, and from what I've read in ltk docs, it seems like this 
concept is easily supported, but I am rather new to common lisp and 
tcl/tk.  Given that I am new to common lisp, I don't necessarily know 
what part of the ltk code I need to read in order to figure out how to 
invoke a local instance of tcl/tk (let alone make a connection to a 
remote-tcl).

I am open to anything, if someone has walked this path before and knows 
of some documentation that might be illuminating, I'm all ears.  In 
addition, if anyone has any suggestions about how I might go about this 
whole cross platform gui common lisp development effort more easily, I'm 
also all ears.

My short term goal is to produce enough material to run the ltkdemo (or 
at least, my own hello world code) from a lisp image that references a 
supplied tclkit on at least osx and windows.

Cheers!
