"... thought I would throw this out there as I have spent some time recently getting this working. I had used the stumpwm binary built with the configure && make dance, but it does not run swank in the background so the fabulous facility of running slime-connect and hacking the live window manager was not available. That and having read about clbuild I wanted to get it working.

One advantage of using this system, is that you will have a working clbuild implementation at the end of this as well as a working stumpwm, and clbuild makes possible all those things you could never get working with asdf-install because of stale packages etc..." -- (via the stumpwm-devel mailing list)
