I'm a beginner with clojure, only starting it yesterday.
I have gathered that a simple way to create a standalone app is with leiningen lein new foo.
I tried to create a hello world test project with leiningen. I added :main and :aot directives to project.clj, added :gen-class to the core.clj file and tried lein run, but I get errors about class definition not found.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:217)

at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:266)
The core.clj file
(ns test.core
(:gen-class))
(defn -main [& args] (println "Hello main"))
And the project.clj file
(defproject test "1.0.0-SNAPSHOT"
:description "FIXME: write description"
:main test.core
:aot [test.core]
:dependencies [[org.clojure/clojure "1.2.1"]])
Edit: After further testing, it seems like copying the project to my desktop works as is, which I think points to that the environment on my laptop is somehow borked, but I don't know how.
The environment on desktop is clojure from repositories and leiningen from AUR. On laptop the clojure is from clojure.org and leining is from github.
