Installation

McCLIM works on the following Lisp implementations: Allegro CL, CMUCL, SBCL, OpenMCL, LispWorks, CLISP. Read more here: Compatibility

Getting Started: Downloading and Building McCLIM

GettingStarted covers download from CVS, building with SBCL, backend selection, and installation of several CLIM applications.

Unsorted discussion about Building and Loading:

Specification

There are two HTML versions of the CLIM 2 specification:

• Annotatable CLIM Specification (conversion done by Gilbert Baumann).
• CLIM Specification (conversion done by Mike McDonald).

Documentation

• A Guided Tour of the Common Lisp Interface Manager (updated version), originally published in 1991 by Lisp Pointers.

  Very useful overview of CLIM facilities.

  Original versions: PDF, PS.gz (all examples in this version are outdated as they are not written for CLIM 2.) Update of this paper and its examples to CLIM 2 and McCLIM by Clemens Fruhwirth.

• CLIM Walkthrough
• CLIM Primer: Brief introduction into all basic clim features. Good to obtain an overview.
• McCLIM includes Examples in its distribution. Good learning-by-imitation resource.
• CLIM User Guides: There are two very similar versions of the user guide, Franz' version or Xanalys ' version. Sometimes better for reading than the CLIM specification, sometimes not. You better look at both when searching for details.
• User Interface Management Systems: The CLIM Perspective
• Compliance status of McCLIM with respect to the CLIM 2.0 specification.

Other resources

Libre Software Meeting 2004 - Proceedings of the VHLL track: Making McCLIM use less ugly fonts (by Andreas Fuchs). In mcclim-cvs, deprecated by the MCCLIM-FREETYPE system (works with sbcl and cmucl).

Also see The Cliki CLIM page for more pointers to documentation (I recommend the CLIM tutorial linked from there to get started using CLIM and to know what its features are).
