Where can I see the screenshots and obtain a copy of Cello?

Hi,

I'd like to use Cello, but unfortunately the FTP url mentioned on the
homepage leads to an empty directory
(ftp://common-lisp.net/pub/project/cello/)

Can anyone help me out here?

Re: Where can I see the screenshots and obtain a copy of Cello?

The only thing I ever do any more is commit my latest source back to 
CVS. Frank Goenninger had a Cello make-over project going but I am not 
sure he released anything (or got far enough to do so or something).

Web access: http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/?root=cello

You can use CVS or just grab the tarball.

I have been astonished by reports of people managaing to get the whole 
thing working unaided, so it is not impossible, just close to it. Not 
that you would be unaided, just ask and we happy few Cellists will help.

I'll look around to see if I can find those screenshots.

Well,

currently there is no official site where you can see screen shots,  
unfortunately. Also, Cello, in its current state, is not ready-to-use  
just like that. That means: You would need some effort to get it to  
work in your environment (mostly because it depends on a number of  
external libraries). Furthermore, Cello does not provide any  
predefined set of widgets or controls. You have to roll your own. It'  
pretty straight forward, but still. Now, if you are still interested:

I can download the Cello code via CVS using a command like this:

cvs -d fgoenninger@...:/project/cello/cvsroot co cello

Note: I have a login on the common-lisp.net machine (that the  
"fgoenninger" part in the command string). I have not been able to  
figure out how to access CVS anonymously, unfortunately. I could send

Actually I am currently debugging a nasty OpenGL/FTGL font handling  
issues with texture fonts and some race condition in the code. So,  
still a huge amount of work to do, but slowly and steadily getting  
there. Unfortunately I have won a rather large consulting project that  
needs 150% of my time. The other 150% are divided between my family  
and the Cello NX work ;-) Bottom line: It will take at least some  
months until I get something out that's worth sharing...

Best,
   Frank

First off, thanks Kennith and Frank for responding so quickly.  Now:

Ah, probably not for me.  I don't officially know Common Lisp (yet).
I've been reading Practical Common Lisp and I've really been liking
what I've seen so far.  In the past I've always learned a new language
by figuring out a project and just writing it.  I haven't quite
figured the project out yet, but I've been looking around to see what
libraries were available for CL, and yours popped up as the first hit
for a GUI toolkit on Google.  While it does sound cool, it's probably
out of my league at this point.

Thanks again for responding so quickly, though.

Peter Herth's LTk is about the simplest GUI project out there, and 
stable and supported by a quiet list.
