George, I don't know what time zone you live in, but you are one crazy person! You're doing fantastic work for the Clojure community, and I thank you very much for that!
The Emacs I was using was Clojure Box, so I disconnected slime (just in case) and tried what you suggested. The results were better, but still not success, so I downloaded and installed a fresh version of W32 Emacs (i.e., Emacs only, no Clojure add-ons), then I started over. Here's the result of refreshing the cdt directory (from the git-bash shell): ----- $ git pull origin windows remote: Counting objects: 17, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (4/4), done. remote: Total 9 (delta 3), reused 0 (delta 0) Unpacking objects: 100% (9/9), done. >From git://github.com/GeorgeJahad/cdt * branch windows -> FETCH_HEAD Merge made by recursive. ide/emacs/cdt.el | 4 ++-- src/com/georgejahad/cdt.clj | 14 +++++++------- 2 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) add-mini...@user-f38f1ebc55 /c/tech/cdt (master) $ git checkout windows error: pathspec 'windows' did not match any file(s) known to git. add-mini...@user-f38f1ebc55 /c/tech/cdt (master) $ ----- I don't know what went wrong with the last command, but some files were changed in the directory. >From a Windows cmd shell window, I got the target REPL working with the following command: ---- java - agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8021 - client -cp \tech\clojure-contrib-1.2.0\target\clojure- contrib-1.2.0.jar;\tech\clojure-1.2.0\clojure.jar clojure.main --repl ---- I did some research on how cmd works, and I found that the cd command has a special syntax for changing the target disk drive--in other words, it's as if, normally, the cd command is "blind" to the existence of multiple hard disks. A Microsoft web page described the following behavior: ---- C:\tech\cdt>cd \ C:\> ---- You could say that "\" acts like root on UNIX systems (!). This explains why the backslash classpath separated by semicolons in the above java command (probably) works. Onward. OK, so now I have a fresh, untainted copy of Emacs. I put the following in the .emacs file (which is otherwise empty): ---- (progn (setq cdt-dir "/tech/cdt") (setq cdt-source-path "/tech/clojure-1.2.0/src/jvm:/tech/ clojure-1.2.0/src/clj:/tech/clojure-contrib-1.2.0/src/main/clojure:") (load-file (format "%s/ide/emacs/cdt.el" cdt-dir))) ---- I open Emacs, execute M-x cdt, and get the following result: ---- Current directory is c:/Documents and Settings/add-minimum/Application Data/ Clojure 1.2.0 user=> java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.jdi.Bootstrap (cdt.clj:28) user=> java.lang.Exception: Unable to resolve symbol: set-source-path in this context (NO_SOURCE_FILE:2) user=> java.lang.Exception: Unable to resolve symbol: cdt-attach in this context (NO_SOURCE_FILE:3) user=> Hooray! A REPL! I start reenacting your test-drive scenario and get the following result: ---- user=> (set-bp clojure.set/difference) java.lang.Exception: Unable to resolve symbol: set-bp in this context (NO_SOURCE_FILE:4) user=> ---- So that's the state of things. I'll be glad to work with you to get this working on Windows. What so ironic is that I worked for Apple for 10 years, and the *only* reason I'm doing this on a PC is that the Nuance/Dragon speech-recognition system for the PC is vastly superior to its (just purchased by Nuance) MacOS X equivalent (sigh).
