[mcclim-devel] help needed with the beagle backend

[Tom Winchester]

Hi there.

I'm sending to the list the patches that Christopher has prodded me 
into generating. They are the output of diff.

The patches attached when applied to the files in 
Backends/beagle/events.lisp, and Backends/beagle/package.lisp work in 
the sense that on my system (mac os x 10.3.8, openmcl from darwinports) 
the nerw files compile, and produce clim windows similar to ones thrown 
up by a google search.

They were tested by pasting the following lines into an OpenMCL 
Listener (use (require "cocoa") in a command line openmcl, or launch 
the .app version):

;;;; Load asdf.

#-:asdf (load "/opt/local/share/openmcl/0.14.2-p1/tools/asdf")
(pushnew "/Users/tom/.asdf-install-openmcl-dir/systems/" 
asdf:*central-registry*)
#-:asdf-install (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :asdf-install)

;;;; Load mcclim.
(asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :mcclim)
(asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :clim-examples)
(asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :clim-listener)
(asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :clouseau)

;;;; Load the beagle backend
(asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :beagle)
(setf climi::*default-server-path* :beagle)

The listener is launched by (clim-listener:run-listener :new-process t).

I include this description of the invocation as the method in the 
README file in the beagle directory has hard coded paths (mentioned in 
a page google threw up), and clearly precedes the recent introduction 
of the mcclim.asd file.

Of course, as it stands the beagle backend is not that functional, but 
that is another story.

Regards.
