Clozure CL on Mac OS X: get rid of the GUI?

Question

I want to run a CCL REPL from a command line. What should I do to prevent CCL from starting that GUI thing (the menu and the listener window)? Thanks.

Homebrew has a recipe for Clozure CL, and will set up everything like you'd expect.

$ brew install clozure-cl

Now type ccl or ccl64 at the command line.

brew doesn't find 'clozure-cl'. Is it removed from repo? – Erdemus May 26 '18 at 09:56
Yes, it appears so. You can install a local recipe from the archived, original formula, or better yet, become the new maintainer. https://github.com/jf/homebrew/blob/59a02849a75ffede091ef97448350bbfb98558ea/Library/Formula/clozure-cl.rb – Daniel Szmulewicz May 27 '18 at 00:08
I'd like to try maintaining. How can I become a homebrew ccl maintainer? – Erdemus May 28 '18 at 05:29

After I dug around in Applications/CCL, I found this:

username@computer:/Applications/CCL
$ ./dx86cl64 
Welcome to Clozure Common Lisp Version 1.7  (DarwinX8664)!
?

Unfortunately this didn't help -- the listener window still pops up – Mike Ivanov Mar 24 '12 at 01:03

@MikeIvanov: Not for me? :-) I didn't install from the App Store. – Paul Nathan Mar 24 '12 at 15:39

Here is a solution.

Originally I installed CCL the "Mac way" - from the App Store (silly me). Regardless of how I called dx86cl64 it always opened a listener window.

I removed the app, downloaded ftp://clozure.com/pub/release/1.7/ccl-1.7-darwinx86.tar.gz and unpacked it under /opt/ccl-1.7. Then I created ~/bin/ccl with this content:

#!/bin/sh
exec "/opt/ccl-1.7/dx86cl64" -K utf-8 $*

Problem solved.
