2.5 Using LispWorks with SLIME

To use LispWorks with SLIME you need an image which does not start the LispWorks IDE automatically. To create this image, make a save-image script, for example in /tmp/resave.lisp , containing:

(in-package "CL-USER")

(load-all-patches)

(save-image "~/lw-console"

            :console t

            :environment nil

            :multiprocessing t)

Run LispWorks like this to create the new image ~/lw-console :

Download SLIME from http://common-lisp.net/project/slime/ and configure Emacs to use "~/lw-console" as the value of inferior-lisp-program as shown in the SLIME README.

Note: Use of LispWorks Personal Edition with SLIME is not supported.
