Hi Chisheng,

Thanks for your answer. I've been able to compile clg, and to run =

test-gtk, but an explicit main loop must be started, which renders =

slime's repl unusable.

I tried to hook main-iterate-all to the periodic polling function on the =

swank server, but I found that all of the non-blocking stream reads in =

fact, block. The best I was able to do in this route was to have a main =

loop iteration for every return pressed in the repl. That rendered clg =

unusable.

So, it seems that until we have proper socket (non blocking reads) or =

threading support in sbcl win32, (or serve-event, or timers) we'll have =

to live with the explicit main loop.

Thanks,

Leandro
