Are any package managers for gambit supported by LambdaNative? #217

Open BusFactor1Inc opened 5 years ago

BusFactor1Inc commented 5 years ago

Looking at the gambit wiki there are some package managers listed[1]. Are any supported by LN?

Currently no, but some of the SRFI's from snow are bundled with LambdaNative, e.g. some of the time functions.

I'm looking into setting up snow, but can't seem to find the gsi binary in the LN directory. Where is it built and installed?

BusFactor1Inc commented 5 years ago

I found gsc in the following location:

/Users/burton//Library/Caches/lambdanative/macosx/bin/gsc

mgorges commented 5 years ago

It depends a bit on your system, as make.sh is trying to do some automatic detection. If its a relatively new install $HOME/Library/Caches/lambdanative/$SYS_HOSTPLATFORM/bin/gsc

I tried to see if snow could be installed easily, but ran into the following when I tried to configure:

bash-3.2$ PATH=~/Library/Caches/lambdanative/macosx/bin/:$PATH ./configure --site-root=~/Library/Caches/lambdanative/macosx/lib/snow
Searching for the Scheme systems accessible in the current PATH:
  Gambit 4.7.9           -> /Users/burton/Library/Caches/lambdanative/macosx/bin//gsi
  Gambit compiler 4.7.9  -> /Users/burton/Library/Caches/lambdanative/macosx/bin//gsc

*** None of the installed Scheme systems support Scheme Now!
*** Consequently, the Scheme Now! framework can't be installed.
*** You might want to install a Scheme system, add it to your
*** PATH, and then run the configure script again.

Just thought I would share. I'm not sure what Scheme Now is, but more work seems to be required.
