Hacking:

1. Make sure you have SBCL with Quicklisp installed

   • Install a proper SBCL, you can download here
   • Install Quicklisp, you can follow the tutorial here

2. Make sure you have a bin folder and have a proper tclkit inside

   • mkdir -p bin or just right click to create a folder name bin
   • Download yourself a proper tclkit and rename it to tclkit-gui here

3. build your application

   sbcl --disable-debugger --load cl-pkr.asd --eval "(ql:quickload 'cl-pkr)" --eval "(asdf:make :cl-pkr)"

Voilà! Check your bin folder for the magic!

What? You use Emacs and SLIME? Great!

Eval (progn (load "cl-pkr.asd") (ql:quickload 'cl-pkr) (setf cl-icebox::*hacking* t)) in your REPL, then you can call (cl-pkr:color-picker), have fun!
