Build Lisp code in SublimeText2

Question

Any way to build&run common lisp in ST2 on mac os? I know about SLIME and Emacs, but i'm interested in ST

Answer 1

On windows, I was able to use the REPL by combining GNU Common Lisp and the package SublimeREPL.

Now, I don't know if it's possible on OSX, but I would be really surprised if it wasn't.

You'll have to add Lisp REPL to SublimeREPL, because it doesn't provide it by default, but it's pretty easy to configure anyway.

Answer 2

First you have to install interpreter, in my case I used sbcl.

After installing that it's prety simple. On ST2 go to Preferences/Browse Packages, go to Lisp, add a new file Lisp.sublime-settings with:

{
    "cmd": ["sbcl", "--script", "$file"],
    "working_dir": "${project_path:${folder}}",
    "selector": "source.lisp",
    "osx":
    {
        "cmd": ["/opt/local/bin/sbcl", "--script", "$file"]
    },
    // exemple in windows with CLISP
    "windows":
    {
        "cmd": ["clisp", "$file"]
    }
    // exemple in windows with SBCL
    // "windows":
    // {
    //  "cmd": ["sbcl", "--script", "$file"]
    // }
}

By the way, if you want to program in Lisp on Mac you can also try using Clozure CL with its development environment:

I did not use it yet, but probably it is worth having a chance.
