I used Aquamacs so far, and I need to install and run Clojure using SLIME. I googled to get some way to use Clojure on SLIME of Aquamacs, but without success.
Questions
- Is it possible to install Clojure on Aquamacs? Or, can you guess why Clojure on Aquamacs doesn't work?
- Is it normal that Emacs and Aquamacs can't share the same ELPA?
- Is it possible to use ELPA to install Conjure on Emacs/Aquamacs?
- I was told that one can use 'lein swank' to run as a server, do you know how to do that?
Sequences that I tried (and half succeeded)
I tried with Mac OS X Emacs, and by following the steps I could make it work. I mean, I could run Clojure with SLIME.
Emacs for Mac OS X
Step 1) Install ESK.
- Git clone and copy all the files into the
.emacs.ddirectory - Add the following code to
.emacsand relaunch
(when
(load
(expand-file-name "~/.emacs.d/package.el"))
(package-initialize))
Step2) Install using ELPA
- M-x package-list-packages to select packages
- Install
- clojure-mode, clojure-test-mode
- slime, slime-repl
- swank-clojure
- M-x slime to install the clojure
- Add the following code to
.emacsand relaunch
;; clojure mode (add-to-list 'load-path "/Users/smcho/.emacs.d/elpa/clojure-mode-1.7.1") (require 'clojure-mode-autoloads) (add-to-list 'load-path "/Users/smcho/.emacs.d/elpa/clojure-test-mode-1.4") (require 'clojure-test-mode-autoloads) ;; slime ;(setq inferior-lisp-program "/Users/smcho/bin/clojure") (add-to-list 'load-path "/Users/smcho/.emacs.d/elpa/slime-20100404") (require 'slime-autoloads) (add-to-list 'load-path "/Users/smcho/.emacs.d/elpa/slime-repl-20100404") (require 'slime-repl-autoloads) ;; swank-clojure (add-to-list 'load-path "/Users/smcho/.emacs.d/elpa/swank-clojure-1.1.0") (require 'slime-repl-autoloads)
Aquamacs
Now I could use Clojure on Emacs, I tried the same(or very similar) method to run Clojure on Aquamacs once more.
Step 1) Install ESK for Aquamacs
- Copy the files to ~/Library/Preference/Aquamacs Emacs
- Modify "~/Library/Preferences/Aquamacs Emacs/Preferences.el" to add the following
(setq kitfiles-dir (concat (file-name-directory
(or (buffer-file-name) load-file-name)) "/aquamacs-emacs-starter-kit"))
; set up our various directories to load
(add-to-list 'load-path kitfiles-dir)
(require 'init)
Step2) * Follow the same step as before to install all the (same) packages, but "M-x slime" gives me the following error message. "Symbol's function definition is void: define-slime-contrib"
ELPA
I tried to combine the packages from Emacs and Aquamacs, but they don't combine. I thought I could use the ELPA itself, not from the ESK to make it shared.
The result was not good, as ELPA couldn't download the swank-conjure package.
Success - Running Aquamacs/Clojure with 'lein swank'.
