• Common Lisp Environment Configuration

Install quickproject

CL-USER> (ql:quickload "quickproject")

CL-USER> (quickproject:make-project "~/org.unaen.dev.src/lisp/swatchblade/"
                             :depends-on '(vecto hunchentoot))
"swatchblade"

Default Files Created

~/org.unaen.dev.src/lisp/swatchblade/

• package.lisp
• swatchblade.lisp
• swatchblade.asd
• README.txt

Edit Stuff

Import symbols under package.lisp

(defpackage #:swatchblade
  (:use #:cl)
  (:shadowing-import-from #:vecto
                          #:with-canvas
                          #:rounded-rectangle
                          #:set-rgb-fill
                          #:save-png-stream))

Add libraries under swatchblade.asd

(asdf:defsystem #:swatchblade
  :serial t
  :depends-on (#:vecto
               #:hunchentoot
               #:cl-colors)
  :components ((:file "package")
               (:file "swatchblade")))

Add source files utils, graphics, web

(asdf:defsystem #:swatchblade
  :serial t
  :depends-on (#:vecto
               #:hunchentoot)
  :components ((:file "package")
               (:file "utils")
               (:file "graphics")
               (:file "web")
               (:file "swatchblade")))
