Compilation Dependancies: Express Allegro and Ubuntu x86-32

Install Expresss Allegro on Ubuntu x86-32 (It’s know to work on Ubuntu 12.04 - 16.04). Add alisp to the path using something like the following:

1. cd ~/bin
2. ln -s ~/acl100express/bin/alist .
3. ln -s ~/acl100express/bin/alisp.dxl .

Install Motif

You’ll also need to install the motif toolkit and build essentials. Something like the following on APT based systems:

1. sudo apt-get install libmotif-dev
2. sudo apt-get libxt-dev
3. sudo apt-get install build-essential

Build motif wraper and copy library

1. cd ~/clim2/c-src
2. make
3. cd ..
4. ./cp-files.sh

Install quicklisp

The easiest way to load things is by quicklisp. First install quicklisp from the quicklisp website, configuring it for you Allegro Express installation. Then link clim2

1. cd ~/quickload/local-projects
2. ln -s ~/clim2 .
3. rm system-index.txt
4. cd ~/clim2
5. alist
6. (ql:quickload :clim2)
7. (clim-demo:start-demo)

Testing

(not currently operable.)

1. start up alegro, e.g. alisp
2. (load “load-clim”)
3. (load “clim-example”)
