I started with Geoff Teale's PKGBUILD and customized it to work on my system (which is also 64-bit Arch linux).
This installs ikarus to /usr/bin/ikarus (which is where it should go on Arch, since Arch scorns local). (If you don't want the opengl stuff, you can probably remove the freeglut/libffi deps and the --enable-libffi option.) # $Id: pkgbuild-mode.el,v 1.23 2007/10/20 16:02:14 juergen Exp $ # Maintainer: Geoff Teale <[email protected]> pkgname=ikarus-bzr pkgver=bzr pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="Ikarus R6RS Scheme compiler" url="http://ikarus-scheme.org"; arch=('i686' 'x86_64') license=('GPL') depends=("gmp" "freeglut" "libffi") makedepends=("make" "autoconf" "gcc" "gmp" "libffi" "bzr") conflicts=(ikarus) provides=(ikarus) backup=() install= source=() md5sums=() options=(!docs) build() { cd $srcdir rm -rf ikarus.dev bzr checkout --lightweight http://ikarus-scheme.org/ikarus.dev cd ikarus.dev ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-libffi CFLAGS=-I"/usr/lib/libffi-3.0.8/include" make || return 1 make DESTDIR=$pkgdir install } On Wed, Apr 14, 2010 at 5:16 AM, joshua bowles <[email protected]> wrote: > Not sure how active this list is: > I am new to Ikarus (and Scheme... and Lisp for that matter), but I thought > some of you might be interested to know that I have installed Ikarus.dev on > my x86_64 ArchLinux through bzr --checkout lightweight... and it seems to be > working fine (i placed ikarus.dev in /usr/lib) and enabled libffi-3.0.9, > which is in /usr/lib, plus set library PATH for mit-church. > There is one catch... a basic install like this (I essentially followed the > directions in Ikarus user's guide plus the Church wiki for install on > Fedora) for 64ArchLinux won't put the binary in a path.
