Assuming you have installed this option, you can now start LispWorks with the native macOS GUI by double-clicking on the LispWorks icon in the LispWorks folder.
Note: The LispWorks folder is described in 2.4.7 Install Location.
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 that does not start the GUI automatically, then see 8.4.5 Saving a non-windowing image (this option is not available in the Personal Edition).
See 8.3 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.
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 for 64-bit LispWorks (the filenames will be slightly different for 64-bit LispWorks):
bash-3.2$ cd "/Applications/LispWorks 8.0 (64-bit)" bash-3.2$ ./lispworks-8-0-0-macos64-universal-gtk ; Loading text file /Applications/LispWorks 7.1 (64-bit)/Library/lib/8-0-0-0/private-patches/load.lisp LispWorks(R): The Common Lisp Programming Environment Copyright (C) 1987-2021 LispWorks Ltd.

Version 8.0.0 Saved by LispWorks as lispworks-8-0-0-amd64-darwin-gtk, at 02 Aug 2021 15:21 User lw on machine.lispworks.com ; Loading text file /Applications/LispWorks 8.0 (64-bit)/Library/lib/8-0-0-0/config/siteinit.lisp ; Loading text file /Applications/LispWorks 8.0 (64-bit)/Library/lib/8-0-0-0/private-patches/load.lisp ; Loading text file /Users/lw/.lispworks
The LispWorks GTK+ IDE should appear.
See 8.3 Configuring your LispWorks installation for more information about configuring your LispWorks image for your own needs.
Assuming you have installed the "LispWorks with X11 IDE" option, and that you have X11 running and Motif and Imlib2 installed, you can use LispWorks with the Motif GUI.
You first must load the Motif GUI into the supplied lispworks-8-0-0-macos64-universal-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")
