Sam, Thanks so much for this. It's quite nice and it worked for me almost without a glitch (the one glitch being that I had to move a pre-existing .emacs to prevent an error). If I could be excused for briefly looking a gift horse in the mouth I'd also say that as a teacher I think it would be even more fabulous if someone could put together packages (presumably platform-specific packages) that allowed one to do this all in one or two steps, rather than five or six... Installing all of the pieces in one automated process, and also adding the needed lines to the project.clj files etc. Users will want to update/tweak these later, but in the same spirit of this overall package I think it'd be nice to have something that works by default with as few steps as possible. In any event, I do think that this is already quite a nice advance. I have two (related?) questions about working in a REPL in the resulting configuration: - When I have a split screen with a source file and a REPL I can't seem to get the REPL into the namespace of the source file. I can do C-c C-k to evaluate the file and that produces overtone output as expected (and printed output goes to the REPL), but when I then try to do (in-ns overtoneproject.core) in the REPL [overtoneproject.core is the name I used in the ns form in the file] I get a ClassNotFoundException. - I also can't get (load "core"), or any variant that I could think of, when typed in the REPL to find the file. When I look at the classpath with (seq (.getURLs (java.lang.ClassLoader/getSystemClassLoader))) I see some of my project's files there, so it "knows" about the project, but it doesn't find my file in the src directory that cake created. Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks, -Lee -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
