# cl-icebox
Cross-Platform GUI framework written in Common Lisp
 [](https://travis-ci.com/VitoVan/cl-icebox)
### Abilities:
- Write Cross-Platform GUI application easily in Common Lisp
- Compiles to Linux / macOS / Windows
- Deploy your application in One Single File
### Useful Links:
- The Common Lisp Cookbook
https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/
- LTK: LTK - The Lisp Toolkit
http://www.peter-herth.de/ltk/
### Working Examples:
- [cl-pkr](https://github.com/VitoVan/cl-pkr)
Cross-Platform Color Picker Written in Common Lisp
----
### Hacking:
1. Make sure you have SBCL with Quicklisp installed
- Install a proper SBCL, you can download [here](http://www.sbcl.org/platform-table.html)
- Install Quicklisp, you can follow the tutorial [here](https://www.quicklisp.org/beta/#installation)
2. Make sure you have a bin folder and have a proper tclkit inside
- `mkdir -p bin` or just right click to create a folder name `bin`
- Download yourself a proper tclkit and rename it to `tclkit-gui` [here](https://github.com/VitoVan/kitgen/releases/latest)
3. build your application
```bash
sbcl --disable-debugger --load cl-icebox.asd --eval "(ql:quickload 'cl-icebox)" --eval "(asdf:make :cl-icebox)"
```
Voilà! Check your `bin` folder for the magic!
> What? You use [Emacs](https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/) and [SLIME](https://common-lisp.net/project/slime/)? Great!
> Eval `(progn (load "cl-icebox.asd") (ql:quickload 'cl-icebox) (setf cl-icebox::*hacking* t))` in your REPL, then you can call `(cl-icebox:icebox)`, have fun!
### Deploy:
There's two options:
1. Use [Travis CI](https://travis-ci.com/) for the good of your health
you need to add `GITHUB_TOKEN` according to [uploadtool](https://github.com/probonopd/uploadtool)
2. Use `deploy.sh` in the root folder
Run `deploy.sh` and then check your `out` folder.
- Linux and macOS should work out of the box (unless you don't have [wget](https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/) or internet connection).
- on Windows, you need to have
- A decent BASH, [Git BASH](https://git-scm.com/download/win) or [MSYS2](https://www.msys2.org/) both should work fine
- Make sure you have [unzip](http://infozip.sourceforge.net/UnZip.html) and [wget](https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/) in your BASH.
- [EDITBIN](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/editbin-reference) which is part of [Build Tools for Visual Studio](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/#build-tools-for-visual-studio-2019)
- Find the location of your `vcvarsall.bat`, then open `cmd`, and call `vcvarsall.bat x64`
- Then, type `where editbin`, you'll get the absolute path of `editbin.exe`
- `export EB='C:\long path with space\editbin.exe'` in your BASH
- Now you are blessed to run `deploy.sh`
