Overview.
----------------------------------------
SLIME is the Superior Lisp Interaction Mode for Emacs. It is
implemented in two main parts: the Emacs Lisp side (slime.el), and
the support library for the Common Lisp (swank.lisp and swank-*.lisp)
For a real description, see the manual in doc/
Quick setup instructions
------------------------
Add this to your ~/.emacs file and fill in the appropriate filenames:
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/hacking/lisp/slime/") ; your SLIME directory
(setq inferior-lisp-program "/opt/sbcl/bin/sbcl") ; your Lisp system
(require 'slime)
(slime-setup)
Make sure your `inferior-lisp-program' is set to a compatible
version of Lisp.
The function `slime-setup' can also load additional, contributed
packages ("contribs"). The most-often used package is
slime-fancy.el, which primarily installs a popular set of other
contributed packages. It includes a better REPL, and many more nice
features. To load it, change the bare (slime-setup) form above to
(slime-setup '(slime-fancy)).
Use `M-x' slime to fire up and connect to an inferior Lisp.
SLIME will now automatically be available in your Lisp source
buffers.
