How to connect Overtone through Light Table IDE

Question

I'm using Windows 7 64 bit, light table 0.3.9, and lein 2.2.1, but I have problems connecting to Overtone from Light Table.

clojure.lang.Compiler$CompilerException:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: overtone.live

Answer 1

Out of curiosity I installed JDK 7 and lein 2.1.2 on my Windows laptop and downloaded light table 0.3.9.

First, I created new lein project using lein.bat new insane-noises command.

Then, I opened light table ide and added insane-noises directory to the workspace.

Then, I edited my project.clj file to set right dependencies:

(defproject insane-noises "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"
  :dependencies [ [org.clojure/clojure  "1.4.0"]
                  [overtone             "0.8.1"]])

Then, I edited my core.clj file:

(ns insane-noises.core
  (:use overtone.live))

(demo (sin-osc))

When I tried to eval (demo (sin-osc)) line directly from light table editor, it downloaded all dependencies and played the noise.

Finally, I tried light table instarepl:

(use 'overtone.live)
(demo (sin-osc))

It played the same noise again.

So, I experienced no problems using overtone with light table ide from my x64 Windows 7.

Check your dependencies. Probably, you forgot to add overtone dependency to your project.clj.
