I'm not sure exactly what I've done wrong, but about 8 months now I've tried, on and off again, to start using Clojure. However, every time, I'm kicked in the face by the same issue. I can't get a decent environment setup. All I really want is a basic Clojure install that allows me to talk to OpenGL.
Finally I found out that the "best" was was to use lein. So I installed lein, and after several hours finally got it to download and install Clojure. I added penumbra to my project.clj, and told lein to get the deps. It downloaded dozens of packages then said it completed. Oh! but penumbra also requires a Java OpenGL interop package that isn't on clojars! Anyway, as a starting point I should say that I've used Python, Ruby, C++ (on Linux, Mac and Windows), C#, even Erlang, and I have never had such a terrible time just getting a decent ide. Now admittedly I don't have much Java experience, so perhaps that's my issue. Since I have allot of .NET experience I'm going to try with Clojure-CLR next. Perhaps Clojure-CLR and OpenTK will get me what I need. But yeah, we really need a clone of Python's easy_install or something. I don't really want to mess with system variables, copying jars by hand. All I want to do is code Clojure with OpenGL. </rant> Timothy -- “One of the main causes of the fall of the Roman Empire was that–lacking zero–they had no way to indicate successful termination of their C programs.” (Robert Firth) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
