9 years ago Hi jkordani, to reenact the things I described in the blog post please only use the self-contained file https://github.com/plops/cl-cffi-gtk-from-repl/blob/master/gtk-from-repl.lisp . This should work fine.
The other code are my experiments to extend GTK with my own GObject classes because I don't like some how some of the standard widgets in GTK behave.
In custom-class.lisp I ported the Code from the Book Andrew Krause: Foundations of GTK+ development, chapter 11 Creating custom widgets.
I'm now porting a treeview renderer. Eventually, I want to have a spinbox entry that pops up, when my mouse enters the appropriate cell of a treeview. I didn't find a way to do this using original GTK widgets.
Unfortunately, a lot of GObject and GTK datastructures that I would need to define my own widgets are not implemented in cl-cffi-gtk so far. That is why I have to define a lot of CFFI code. I'm slowly making progress but it is not a lot of fun working on this. What you are seeing is that
Perhaps when I'm finished I will describe what I learned in another blog post. However, the more I work with GTK, the more I wish there was a pure cross-platform Common Lisp GUI implementation without all this weird GObject cruft.
Regards, Martin

Found your blog post and trying to load the code in the repository.
Using macports to supply glib2 and others, after adding /opt/local/lib/ to cffi:foreign-libraries-directory and ql:quickload :custom-widget, I get an error pasted here http://paste.lisp.org/display/144855
