Overview

Development environment for CL including an IDE (Emacs+SLIME), implementation (SBCL), and library management (Quicklisp+ASDF)

Configuration (Steps)

Emacs installed via package manager

SBCL installed via package manager

Initial ~/.emacs.d/init.el

;; ~/.emacs.d/init.el
(require 'cl)
(require 'package) ;; You might already have this line
(add-to-list 'package-archives
             '("melpa" . "http://melpa.org/packages/") t)
(when (< emacs-major-version 24)
  ;; For important compatibility libraries like cl-lib
  (add-to-list 'package-archives '("gnu" . "http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")))
(package-initialize) ;; You might already have this line

Install SLIME

M-x package-install RET slime RET

Append ~/.emacs.d/init.el

;; Setup load-path, autoloads and your lisp system
;; Not needed if you install SLIME via MELPA
;;(add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/slime")
(require 'slime-autoloads)
(setq inferior-lisp-program "/usr/bin/sbcl")

(slime-setup '(slime-fancy slime-xref-browser slime-asdf slime-banner slime-repl slime-indentation slime-fuzzy slime-autodoc slime-presentations slime-presentation-streams))

(setq backup-directory-alist `(("." . "~/.saves")))
(setq backup-by-copying t)
