Port McCLIM Gopher Browser to Mezzano #183

I am interested in leveling my LISP up a little, I was wondering: could someone describe to me the process through which I should port this McCLIM gopher browser to Mezzano?

https://github.com/knusbaum/clim-gopher

A rough outline is sufficient: as I understand it, this software only runs on UNIX, and bases on X. But I can't help but remember that McCLIM had been ported to Mezzano: would it be possible to get this gopher browser on Mezzano by running it on our McCLIM?

Getting some sort of hypertext support is crucial for me to consider using Mezzano as a daily driver. Much like a lot of folks use plan9 for aesthetic reasons, I would seriously consider ditching Linux for Mezzano if I could somehow get gopher going.

Thanks in advance (:

We tend to use #mezzano on irc.freenode.net to talk about Mezzano.

Froggey has a version of McClim that works with Mezzano, so you need to load that. It should be in the MBuild/home directory. And, I would install gopher in that directory (MBuild/home) as well. Then load it and see what happens?

The development environment I use for working on Mezzano is running Mezzano in VirtualBox, connect using slime from emacs on the host machine (where I'm running Linux)

Does that help any? Feel free to ask more questions either in email or on #mezzano.

Just wanted to add here that it'd be great to get the closure web browser in Mezzano for at least some basic html website surfing. Should I follow the same steps above to get that going?
