Goal: Install Hunchentoot and be able to run Hunchentoot as a background thread.

This is what I do:

  1. Install Common Lisp.
  2. Install Quicklisp.
  3. (ql:quickload "hunchentoot")
  4. (hunchentoot:start (make-instance 'hunchentoot:acceptor :port 4242))

The last command is supposed to start Hunchentoot, then return to the interpreter for further Common Lisp forms.

For CLISP, SBCL, ABCL, ECL, and CCL, I get one of two results:

  • Hunchentoot’s dependency Bordeaux Threads fails to install.
  • hunchentoot:start hangs. The web page never loads, and never 404s.

    Lispbox offers a working copy of CCL, CFFI, threads, Emacs, and SLIME. Quicklisp and Hunchentoot work well. There isn’t an installer yet, but the darn thing works 🙂
