[slime-devel] Trying to start up SLIME with SBCL on Windows XP

[Holly Styles]

  Hi,

I Have found Lisp Cabinet to be a nice all-in-one Windows install of a 
Lisp environment, it gives you access to several Lisps including SBCL. I 
liked it better than Lispbox.

But, having been through the pain you are experiencing now, I have to 
say, doing it the hard way with seperate installs of emacs/sbcl/slime is 
worth it. You are forced to find out about the necessary plumbing that 
stitches it all together, once you have that grounding then I recommend 
Lispbox or Lisp Cabinet for Windows, or even better install a Linux 
distro in a VM or seperate partition and just apt-get all the tools. I 
found Ubuntu the easiest to do this with.

Holly.
