[Snow-devel] Slime or other framework for developing Snow

[Matus Kmit]

i've tried to launch snow with a newer version of ABCL (v0.25), but
got the following exception:

Exception in thread "main"
org.armedbear.lisp.Interpreter$UnhandledCondition: Unhandled lisp

i read in your tutorial that snow is using a modified version of ABCL.
The version i was trying, was the ordinary one built from sources
downloaded from ABCL website.

Does that mean that i will have to built Snow/ABCL myself with certain
modifications?

Greetings,
Matus
