Re: [STUMP] Reload stumpwm after source change

[David T. Harris]

Diogo,

  Thank you for the reply.  How exactly does slime work with stumpwm?  I compiled stumpwm using the normal ./configure, and make with sbcl.  Then I copied the executable into my local ~/bin.  I then put a line in my .xinitrc file that exec's the stumpwm in ~/bin when I run startx.

At this point how would you use swank to interact with the running lisp process?

If you edited a file in the stumpwm source tree (like stumpwm.lisp ) how would you make those changes appear in the running stumpwm lisp process?

Thank you,

David

I don't know what they are using and I'm not a VIM user, but in Emacs we
normally use SLIME[0] to talk to the common lisp machine.

Maybe they are using Slimv[1], which is apparently "SLIME for Vim".
