1 Introduction

cl-fluiddb / cl-fluidinfo

cl-fluidinfo (cl-fluiddb is the old, original name) is a work-in-progress project of accessing the fluidinfo from Common Lisp. This is by no means done, expect breaking changes in the future.

I do all my work in SBCL, so this is the only implementation currently supported.

Requirements

You will need

• Drakma
• cl-json
• flexi-streams (is a dependency of drakma anyway)
• bordeaux-threads
• split-sequence
• All dependencies of those libs above.

You should use Quicklisp to get these dependencies. No, really. If you aren't using it yet, do yourself a favour and install it before proceeding.

There is also a beginning of some tests written in Lift, so you will need the lift library.
