The instructions have changed now. Check the comment above by Sidhant. Also, read this – http://www.assembla.com/wiki/show/clojure/Getting_Started_with_Emacs

Did all, but “M-x clojure-install” didn’t work. (“No match”, i.e. this function did not exist.)

System: fairly recent stable release of Linux Mint.
Emacs: 23.1.50.1

Just to get this up to date,

After installing the starter-kit, start emacs, let it complete processing and then restart emacs

Instead of clojure-mode, install swank-clojure

M-x slime and it should automatically download clojure.

I also like using leiningen as my project builder

It works when I explicitly provide the path, even though it is the default one:

(clojure-slime-config “/home/ivant/src”)

Thanks!

Ivant: Create a file with your username (for eg. ivant.el) and put it in your ~/.emacs.d/ folder.

In that file put this (clojure-slime-config). That would work if you had chosen to install Clojure in the default directory (~/src/). Else put this in the file instead (clojure-slime-config “/path/to/root/of/clojure”).

That should do the trick.

Thank you for this description. However, I ran in some problems and it would be great if you can help me with them.

I tried the steps above and managed to get working clojure under slime, however when I restarted emacs M-x slime didn’t work anymore. Perhaps I need to put something in the init files? I tried to put (clojure-slime-config) in my init file, but it didn’t work.

Phil: Whoops! That just slipped off my mind. I didn’t intend to write that I guess I was too sleepy.

Thanks a lot for pointing it out. I will fix it right-away.

Thanks for this detailed overview!

One thing I’d clarify is that generally you don’t use lib/ and target/dependency together; lib is meant for when you want to manually manage your deps, and target/dependency is for if you are using mvn or corkscrew to handle dependent jarfiles. Of course, there’s nothing stopping you from using them together, it’s just not the intended use. Otherwise it seems right-on.
