Hi.

I was wandering would it be possible to run emacs on windows
while lisp running in linux as a virtual machine (VirtualBox) ?
I'm asking that because I have a cheap integrated SIS graphic card
in my laptop with no quality drivers for linux but it works perfectly in
windows
and on the other side some things concerning lisp
don't work in windows but work in linux.
Here is some link I found
http://common-lisp.net/project/slime/doc/html/Connecting-to-a-remote-lisp.html
Any help or comment would be welcome.

Thanks

I think you need to go ahead and try it out.

I once tried working with a windows emacs and a non-local sbcl. It
worked more or less, but then I found that in practical terms it's much
easier to simply use emacs where the lisp lives. In your case, do
everything (including editing with emacs) inside virtualbox. I don't
think you need incredibly performing video drivers for that.

I did exactly that but gave up, cause there were issues moslty dealing
with sharing files and permissions stuff between the linux and windows
world (nothing to do with lisp).

At present *I* am using cygwin/emacs/slime talking to windows CCL
It still requires something like below since cygwin paths used by emacs
and 'windows paths' used by CCL are different

(setq slime-to-lisp-filename-function
(lambda (f)
(replace-regexp-in-string
"/cygdrive/c/" "c:/"
(replace-regexp-in-string "/home/antony/" "c:/foo/bar/"
f))))
(setq slime-from-lisp-filename-function
(lambda (f)
(replace-regexp-in-string
"c:/" "/cygdrive/c/"
(replace-regexp-in-string "c:/foo/bar/" "/home/antony/"
f))))))

I think that the problem is not in linux video drivers,
the problem is in linux color themes.
The colors chosen in linux just irritate my eyes.
Even when I start emacs in cygwin it's the same thing...
Poor choice of colors as opposed to windows.
How can I copy exact system colors from windows to linux or cygwin ,
or just the emacs color theme ?
