It's not really relevant with clfswm even if the build process is more simple on a fresh distro with no lisp installed (just install one and type few command lines). Quicklisp is independent of distro packages managers and handle dependencies automatically. But try to install McCLIM or Hunchentoot (for example): the building process is very simple. Doing it manually is an headache. BTW, there is at least three ways to build clfswm. I let the user choose the one it needs: 1) Your_lisp --load load.lisp 2) ./configure && make && make install 3) QuickLisp In the two first, you have to take care of clx. In the third, its automatic. Personally, I use the first in development and the second for the clfswm running my desktop. Regards, Philippe PS: The configure script now use your clfswm in contrib.

Hum ok.

I really need to reinstall my notebook and have it running X again (thus clfswm). For more than a couple of years now, I am solely running in the linux console :/ (did I tell I was quite busy lately ? :D) In fact, I feel more comfortable in the console now than in any graphical environment. Though I really liked (and still like I guess) CLFSWM, there are things I would probably change if I switch back. But that's another story and I have no time now to explain what I'd change ;) To be continued.. > PS: The configure script now use your clfswm in contrib. Thanks :) Glad it is useful. /Xavier
