<br>> So, if you need cm you have to install "cm-sbcl", and you also want<br>> "slime-sbcl" for the slimmy part of the process (those will pull in<br>> other needed packages).<br>><br>> For configuring slime you just need to add this to emacs:
<br>><br>> ---- cut here ----<br>> ;;; slime configuration<br>> (setq inferior-lisp-program "/usr/bin/cm-sbcl")<br>><br>> (add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/slime")<br>> (require 'slime)
<br>> (slime-setup)<br>> ---- cut here ----<br>><br>> Restart emacs and then do "<esc> x" and type "slime" followed by return.<br>> Common Music will start to be loaded, wait till the slime listener
<br>> starts and greets you with a <CM> prompt and then you are in lisp land<br>> (/usr/bin/cm-sbcl is the "executable" that starts the whole thing - you<br>> could run that in a terminal to make sure it starts).
<br>><br>> I think the cm in fc5 is still the old one so some examples might not<br>> run as shown in the recent sourceforge instructions.<br>><br>> If you want to use clm (sound synthesis/processing) you need to install
<br>> clm-sbcl, if you want it to be autoloaded into cm when cm starts you<br>> will also need cm-clm-sbcl. Same naming for cmn (score generation).<br><br>I just released a new set of cm* packages for fc5.<br><br>- latest common music release (w/ realtime scheduler)
<br>- only supports sbcl<br>- includes fomus (as in the latest fc6 build)<br><br>So, you will/should need:<br> cm-sbcl<br> cm-clm-sbcl (if you want to autoload clm)<br> cm-cmn-sbcl (if you want to autoload cmn)<br> cm-fomus-sbcl (if you want to autoload fomus)

<br><br>anyone who uses common music want to share how they use it and with what other software? it's all new to me...<br><br>bernie<br>
