2.5.1 Start the native Mac OS X LispWorks GUI

Assuming you have installed this option, you can now start LispWorks with the native Mac OS X GUI by double-clicking on the LispWorks icon in the LispWorks folder.

Note: The LispWorks folder is described in Select Destination.

If you added LispWorks to the Dock during installation, you can also start LispWorks from the Dock. If you did not add LispWorks to the Dock during installation, you can add it simply by dragging the LispWorks icon from the Finder to the Dock.

If you want to create a LispWorks image which does not start the GUI automatically, you should use a configuration script that calls

(save-image ... :environment nil)

and pass it to the supplied lispworks-7-0-0-x86-darwin image.

See Configuring your LispWorks installation for more information about configuring your LispWorks image for your own needs.

Note: for the Personal Edition, the folder name and icon name are LispWorks Personal, the image is lispworks-personal-7-0-0-macos-universal, and save-image is not available.

2.5.2 Start the GTK+ LispWorks GUI

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.

Follow this session in the X11 terminal:

bash-3.2$ cd "/Applications/LispWorks 7.0 (32-bit)"

bash-3.2$ ./lispworks-7-0-0-x86-darwin-gtk 

; Loading text file /Applications/LispWorks 7.0 (32-bit)/Library/lib/7-0-0-0/private-patches/load.lisp

2.5.3 Start the Motif LispWorks GUI

Assuming you have installed the "LispWorks with X11 IDE" option, and that you have X11 running and Motif installed, you can use LispWorks with the Motif GUI.

You first must load the Motif GUI into the supplied lispworks-7-0-0-x86-darwin-gtk image, by

(require "capi-motif")

This loads the necessary module and makes Motif the default library for CAPI.

Then you can start the LispWorks IDE by calling the function env:start-environment. You might want to save an image with the "capi-motif" module pre-loaded: do this with a save-image script containing

(require "capi-motif")
