Recently McCLIM has been greatly improved. I just tried loading McCLIM in LispWorks 8.0.1 (on macOS) and it seems that the only blocking issue is CLX, which has disabled the support of LispWorks versions 8.x and later:
#-(or lispworks6 lispworks7)
(error "Sorry, your ~S lisp version ~S is not currently supported. ~
Patches are welcome."
(lisp-implementation-type) (lisp-implementation-version))
But actually the code runs very well under LispWorks 8.0.1, and by disabling the above code I can indeed run McCLIM in LispWorks:
Therefore I propose this trivial patch which enables all LispWorks versions 6.x and later.
NOTE: The existing CLX code doesn't support connecting to X11 (Xquartz) server listening on unix domain sockets, on macOS. As a workaround, I had to SSH to localhost with X11 forwarding enabled (-X) and then run the X11-based LispWorks console image and got the above screenshot. I will take a look at CLX code and see if the support of unix domain sockets can be added (no estimates on time).
