Running seesaw and overtone libraries togethear

[Amir Teymuri]

Hello,

i want to use the overtone and seesaw namespaces in one project. However when i load them there seems to be a function named (select) which exists in both seesaw.core and overtone.core ((seesaw.core/select) (overtone.core/select)), why  i can't load both of the libraries in the project. How could i come over this matter?

Many Thanks

I do not know about Overtone specifically, but in general you can introduce the seesaw.core and other namespaces with "require" instead of "use", and their symbols won't conflict.  See http://clojure.org/reference/namespaces or a more in-depth explanation at https://blog.8thlight.com/colin-jones/2010/12/05/clojure-libs-and-namespaces-require-use-import-and-ns.html

Obviously (require) can't do the work, i do (require 'seesaw.core 'overtone.core 'clojure.repl), but at the next line the (native!) function can't get resolved.

you might want to get a little more familiar with how "require" actually works.  You could use require and give the namespace you just loaded into the Clojure runtime an alias using ":as", alternatively you could refer to the functions of the required namespaces with their full name, i.e. "seesaw.core/native!".

In addition to that, you usually don't call (require...) directly but use the ":require" form in your namespace declaration.  If you look at other Clojure code e.g. on github you will find this form most often.


Kind regards,
