I am trying to use the JACOB library with Clojure using Clojure Box.
I have added this to my .emacs:
(setq swank-clojure-library-paths (list "c:/dev/dlls"))
C:/dev/dlls/ contains the jacob-1.14.3-x86.dll.
I have added a .clojure dir to my ~/ dir and that contains the
jacob.jar.
At the Clojure Box REPL, (System/getProperty "java.class.path") yields:
"c:/Program Files/Clojure Box/clojure/clojure.jar;c:/Program Files/Clojure Box/clojure-contrib/clojure-contrib.jar;;c:/Documents and Settings/mac009/Application Data/.clojure/jacob.jar"
and
"Settings/mac009/Application Data/.clojure/jacob.jar"
and (System/getProperty "java.library.path") yields:
"c:/dev/dlls"
If I start Clojure Box and issue (import '(com.jacob.com Dispatch
ComThread)), the REPL just hangs.
Now for the weird part. If I kill the REPL and do "Alt-X slime" and answer no to "Create an additional inferior-lisp? (y or n)" and issue "(import '(com.jacob.com Dispatch ComThread))" it works! Even weirder is that this only "works" if I first issue "(import '(com.jacob.com Dispatch ComThread))" and make the REPL hang. If I just start Clojure Box and kill/restart the REPL without first issuing "(import '(com.jacob.com Dispatch ComThread))" it just hangs.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
