I am trying to write an application using the above libraries. There is no point to this app at the moment other than to take my time and enjoy learning clojure. I am hoping that anyone else with these problems will be able to find this post, so I am going to dump.
I have had a hell of time getting things to work correctly. First I installed java 1.6, only to find out that trolltech doesn't support that version on os x because it is 64 bit and they haven't ported their libraries to cocoa. The error you get is an initializer failure in JambiObject; it takes quite a while to figure out the inconsistencies. Next I couldn't build because the ant process was finding two xercesimpl.jar files somehow and this was making the construction of the sax parser fail when the qt libs attempt to do their thing when the java task is loading the clojure class from the build directory. I then managed to get an app up and running; the cool thing is that when you close the app it just puts you back in the repl. Then you can call a function and give event handing back to QT. This is fun; I don't have to shutdown to try out lots of different stuff until I hang the process or crash QT. Finally I decided to try out some openGL. I got a complete hang every time I called GL, using the slime repl from emacs. I could get all the rest of my gui stuff working but anything GL related would hang. I tried switching from jogl to lwjgl and the result was the same. super hang. 4 hours of debugging later I tried running the helloGL QT demo and it was working. I then tried it from the command line repl and it worked. Finally I tried it from the slime repl and it just hung. So my question to the gurus in this forum is why, on mac os 10.5 using jvm 1.5 and the latest clojure, slime, aquamacs, clojure-contrib, qt, jogl, swank-clojure, NVIDIA 8600M GT, 2.5 ghz core 2 due, 4 gigs of ram, in a house that is 65 degrees fahrenheit, at 40.03N x 105.25W... would this exact scenario hang? I really want to use slime as my primary repl; I will have to use some crap null gl wrappers when I am not working on gl as it is unless I can get slime to play nice with gl. Clojure is the shit! Unfortunately, java still sucks. Not that it will stop me using clojure.
