On my x86_64 machine, however, I am running into issues. I need to
use a threaded SBCL for website work. This SBCL has the
much-mentioned keyboard freezing problem when I run stumpwm in it. So
I am trying clisp, but I haven't worked out all the kinks yet to get
stumpwm to run in it. I'm sure I'll get it soon, and I'm not seeking
help for this (yet).
There should be no kinks in using clisp. If you're building from a release tarball, make sure the clisp in your path is 1.42 or later and run:
./configure --with-lisp=clisp && make
If things are more complicated for you then either you're trying to be sneaky or you're doing something wrong :). Or..there's a bug in the build scripts and you should post the output here so I can fix it.
If you're building from the git repo, then you need to download the cl-ppcre tarball, unpack it, and tell stumpwm where it is:
./configure --with-lisp=clisp --with-ppcre=/path/to/cl-ppcre && make
