Heh. If you have a procedure that's that simple, please blog about it.

Here's what I had to do: - Download the lein script and put it in my PATH

- Download package.el and put it in my .emacs load-path

- lein self-install

- make a project directory, and 'lein new projname .' inside it

- modify the resulting project.clj to add :dev-dependencies [[leiningen/lein-swank "1.1.0"] [swank-clojure "1.2.1"]]

- lein deps in said directory

- Install package.el, and then install slime, clojure-mode, slime-repl, and swank-clojure with it (and fight with it and get confused about why it didn't know about slime-repl until I installed it several times but then noticed it when I restarted Aquamacs)

- lein swank in said directory

- M-x slime-connect from Aquamacs

Am I doin it rong?




1. I installed ELPA from here: http://tromey.com/elpa/install.html

2. Ran "M-x package-list-packages"

3. Installed clojure-mode, slime, slime-repl, and swank-clojure.

Then I rebooted emacs and "M-x slime" just works for me (aquamacs).


This is what I did too. It works, and is simple and easy. The downside is that it sort of "takes over" SLIME and prevents you from easily using other Lisps with it. As a frequent SBCL user, I found this annoying. I ended up putting a switch in my .emacs which I can turn on and off depending on whether I want my SLIME to use Clojure, or some other Lisp. Suboptimal, and someone really needs to fix this Clojure-SLIME integration problem, but it serves my needs.


That's why the leiningen option with lein swank is useful :).
