This is a set of instructions to quickly setup Common Lisp development environment on Linux using Lem editor

1. Install roswell, see instructions
2. ros install fukamachi/qlot
3. ros install fukamachi/cl-project
4. ros intall cxxxr/lem
5. Modify .bashrc / .profile to include export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.roswell/bin"
6. Create project using make-project following the example provided
7. Start lem
8. Open file <project>/qlfile and add dependencies
9. M-x change-directory to <project>
10. C-u M-x slime -> type 'qlot/' and Tab to select CL implementation
11. (ql:quickload :<project>)
12. PROFIT

McCLIM is an amazing project and a treasure trove of useful utils like CLOUSEAU. Unfortunatelly currently McCLIM has no backend for Windows. I'd like to use McCLIM and experiment with developing a backend.

Windows is quite hostile environment for mostly Unix-based Lisp packages. And McCLIM is not an exception. It uses CLX as a backend library and depends on STATIC-VECTORS - package that require CFFI-GROVELER to dynamically compile C program on system load.
