... or maybe it's not such a great challenge. I've got the following
elisp customisation
(setq
slime-lisp-implementations
'((sbcl
("/usr/local/bin/sbcl") :coding-system utf-8-unix)
(maxima
("sbcl"
"--core"
"/home/rupert/src/mine/maxima/src/binary-sbcl/maxima.core"))))
(obviously you'll need to edit paths) and then you can just do C-- M-x
slime and type maxima. Tada.
However, while this is neat for testing the lisp code, it's actually not
as convenient for _using_ maxima as the standard emacs maxima mode, in
my experience.
In fact, I've quite frequently found myself with one session of each
type open: of course, this works fine :-)
