Awesome! How about patching the port for 5.2 to use 4.8.0 and pthreads? ;-) > Well the chicken core itself has GCC and gmake as a dependency. The > extensions are not tracked by either port. So you wouldn't gain much. It also has libpthread, libc (okay) libffi, and libm if I am reading things right. Those are the ones I was more worried about. gcc doesn't change much, as you know. But there are about two dozen autoconfs and gmakes. > Also note that in order to run make check you will need to install > chicken first, as there are some tests that require the runtime and > other things to be in place. My modified port did build and install in /usr/local. But after the port builds I don't know if the normal chicken build tree exists. That's why I didn't know if I could run the normal tests after that. Can you think of an easy way, given chicken is already installed in /usr/local? Or should I just bag it and go on? > If you are afraid of that you can choose a PREFIX in /tmp or somewhere > convenient. Just make sure that the PREFIX matches on each invocatoin of > make. Also see the README on details. Are you saying this about the 4.8 build? I'm not worried about that since I build everything from source on Linux without a package manager or ports system (Slackware). On OpenBSD I try to play by the rules because I know I'll get no help if I deviate ;-) > You can save yourself most pains if you start from the WIP: > > https://github.com/jasperla/openbsd-wip/tree/master/lang/chicken > > Thanks for getting back to me so quickly! > > No problem, I do hope you get started quickly! > > Kind regards, > > Christian Thanks a lot Christian. /jl _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
