Compiling whalesong

[AlbertoPL]

Hello, I'm having an issue with compiling Whalesong. Let me start by saying that I tried to install the dyoo/whalesong version from the planet repository but to no avail. I actually end up getting the same error either way.

My problem right now is that when I run sudo make, I get this output:

raco planet link dyoo whalesong.plt 1 19 . racket make-launcher.rkt copy-file: cannot open source file source path: /home/alberto/racket/collects/launcher/sh destination path: /home/alberto/whalesong-master/whalesong/whalesong system error: No such file or directory; errno=2 make: *\ [launcher] Error 1

Neither the source nor destination exists. In fact, I'm not sure why the destination is as such, since that's too many levels deep (the make file is in /home/alberto/whalesong-master/whalesong).

I appreciate any help you can provide.

Hi Alberto,

You need to use my version of Whalesong to get it to compile in a new Racket.

In a terminal: git git@github.com:soegaard/whalesong.git raco make -j 1 whalesong

Also: Make sure to use the newest version of racket available from download.racket-lang.org

Hi Jens,

Thanks for the reply. I tried what you wrote but I think I'm having some issues with it as neither command works for me.

I first get: git: 'git@github.com:soegaard/whalesong.git' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

So I tried git cloning instead. That downloads the repository but then the second command does not work when I go into the whalesong directory. I get this issue:

alberto@ubuntu:~/whalesong/whalesong$ raco make -j 1 whalesong raco make: file does not exist: whalesong

I'm looking in the repository and I do not see a whalesong file. I do see whalesong.rkt, but doing raco make -j 1 whalesong.rkt doesn't seem to do anything.

Is there some configuration I need to do to make any of these steps work?

Thanks once again,

Alberto

You can install the package by issuing raco pkg install -j 1 in the root of this project. But that won't install the launcher you need to compile stuff. And (require whalesong/make-launcher) fails:

-> % racket

@soegaard Could you please update the README with build instructions? Thanks!

Hi All,

Whalesong is now available through pkg.racket-lang.org. That means:

raco pkg install -j 1 --force --deps search-auto --scope installation whalesong

will install Whalesong. Note that the -j 1 is needed in order to avoid build errors. This also means that the package manager in DrRacket can not install Whalesong (yet).

Hello Jens,

This is working great, thank you! One thing I did so that I could access Whalesong from any directory was to add the installation directory to my path.

Thanks for all of your hard work, I'm loving this project so far!

Great to hear it worked.
