Are there any High Level, easy to install GUI libraries for Common Lisp? [closed]

Answer 1

There's also wxCL, providing CFFI bindings for wxWidgets.

Answer 2

clg is a binding of GTK for Common Lisp. Both complete and lispish.

If you want to design graphical interfaces in CL, you might want to take a look at CLIM, too, which some kind of standard API for GUIs. Allegro and Lispworks have their own implementation of it, and there's a free software one, McCLIM.

Answer 3

Also, just found a Smoke library QT bindings, called CommonQt for CL

Answer 4

LispWorks comes with CAPI, it's portable accross Mac, Windows and Linux and even has some GUI-Builder. It's free for personal use.

Answer 5

Ltk is quite popular, very portable, and reasonably well documented through the Tk docs. Installation on SBCL is as easy as saying:

(require :asdf-install)
(asdf-install:install :ltk)

There's also Cells-Gtk, which is reported to be quite usable but may have a slightly steeper learning curve because of its reliance on Cells.

EDIT: Note that ASDF-INSTALL is integrated this well with SBCL only. Installing libraries from within other Lisp implementations may prove harder. (Personally, I always install my libraries from within SBCL and then use them from all implementations.) Sorry about any confusion this may have caused.
