Assuming you have installed the "LispWorks with X11 IDE" option, and that you have X11 running and GTK+ installed, you can now start LispWorks with the GTK+ GUI.
Note that the supplied image does not start its GUI automatically by default. There are three distinct ways to make the GUI start:
xterm% cd "/Applications/LispWorks 6.1"
xterm$ ./lispworks-6-1-0-macos-universal-gtk

The LispWorks GTK+ IDE should appear.
You may put the call to
env:start-environment
at the end of your initialization file, if desired.
-env
command line argument
The
-env
command line argument causes the function
env:start-environment
to be called.
xterm% cd "/Applications/LispWorks 6.1"
xterm% ./lispworks-6-1-0-macos-universal-gtk
-env
The LispWorks GTK+ IDE should appear.
If you want to create a LispWorks image which starts the GUI automatically, you should make a save-image script that calls
(
save-image ... :environment t)
and run the supplied
lispworks-6-1-0-macos-universal-gtk
image with
-build
followed by the script filename on its command line.
Note:
This will create a non-universal binary, containing only the architecture on which you call
save-image
.
See Configuring your LispWorks installation for more information about configuring your LispWorks image for your own needs.
