Package: racket Version: 8.10+dfsg1-2 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
We are updating the Debian package for SWIG (a generator of scripting interfaces to C/C++ code), in order to include support for MzScheme/Racket. However, it does not work because the file mzdyn.o is needed and cannot be found anywhere. Indeed, this file is mentioned in the Racket documentation.[*] The SWIG's configure script try to find the path for that file by running this command: mzscheme --eval '(begin (require dynext/link) (with-handlers (((lambda args #t) (lambda args #f))) (for-each (lambda (x) (printf "~a" x)) (expand-for-link-variant (current-standard-link-libraries)))))' which yields: /usr/lib/racket/mzdyn.o Subsequently, the activation of the MzScheme support fails because this path does not exist. I see that, in the source for the Debian package racket, there is a file src/bc/dynsrc/mzdyn.c, that could be compiled into mzdyn.o and installed in /usr/lib/racket/. Do you think that this would be possible? Best, Rafael Laboissière [*] https://docs.racket-lang.org/inside/Writing_Racket_Extensions.html#(part._.C.G.C_.Extensions)
