larceny -r7rs on Windows

[olopierpa]

Hello,

on Windows 8, the binary just downloaded from larcenists.org, invoked as "larceny -r7rs" produces the output pasted below. It appears to work only in r5rs mode.

Ouch. I thought I had tested that, but evidently not. I'll fix it today.

In the meantime, you can fix it yourself in your local copy by re-compiling the R7RS runtime:

larceny Larceny v0.99 "Goldie" (May 25 2016 12:00:56, precise:Win32:unified) larceny.heap, built on Wed 05/25/2016

(require 'r7rsmode) (larceny:compile-r7rs-runtime)

Both of the binary downloads worked for me. I suspect you unpacked the .zip or .tar.gz file and then copied rather than moved the unpacked directory. Copying the directory changes the file modification dates/times, making the compiled .fasl files look stale. If you move/rename the directory instead of copying it, it should work out of the box.

Please let us know if that solves the problem.

Solved. No, it was not because of copying. I had unpacked the zip with the windows builtin unzipper, and this results in the following dates & times:

e:/Local/Software/Larceny/larceny-0.99-bin-native-ia32-win32/lib/R7RS: total used in directory 83 available 318823280 drwxrwxrwx 1 pierpa NESSUNO 4096 06-09 21:00 . drwxrwxrwx 1 pierpa NESSUNO 4096 06-09 21:01 .. drwxrwxrwx 1 pierpa NESSUNO 8192 06-09 21:00 scheme -rw-rw-rw- 1 pierpa NESSUNO 29992 06-09 21:00 r7rs-cond-expander.fasl -rw-rw-rw- 1 pierpa NESSUNO 16457 06-09 21:00 r7rs-cond-expander.sch -rw-rw-rw- 1 pierpa NESSUNO 14320 06-09 21:00 r7rs-includer.fasl -rw-rw-rw- 1 pierpa NESSUNO 6948 06-09 21:00 r7rs-includer.sch -rw-rw-rw- 1 pierpa NESSUNO 108 06-09 21:00 r7rsmode.sch

which are the times at which I unpacked the zip.

I tried unpacking with a different unzipper (7zip) and now the dates are correct:

e:/Local/Software/Larceny/larceny-0.99-bin-native-ia32-win32/lib/R7RS: total used in directory 83 available 318793400 drwxrwxrwx 1 pierpa NESSUNO 4096 06-09 21:07 . drwxrwxrwx 1 pierpa NESSUNO 4096 06-09 21:07 .. drwxrwxrwx 1 pierpa NESSUNO 8192 06-09 21:07 scheme -rw-rw-rw- 1 pierpa NESSUNO 29992 05-25 18:04 r7rs-cond-expander.fasl -rw-rw-rw- 1 pierpa NESSUNO 16457 05-25 17:54 r7rs-cond-expander.sch -rw-rw-rw- 1 pierpa NESSUNO 14320 05-25 18:04 r7rs-includer.fasl -rw-rw-rw- 1 pierpa NESSUNO 6948 05-25 17:54 r7rs-includer.sch -rw-rw-rw- 1 pierpa NESSUNO 108 05-25 17:54 r7rsmode.sch

And indeed now it works.

Thank you for the help!
