Also, if it matters, I usually make my Windows builds on Linux
with MinGW (i686-w64-mingw32-gcc, x86_64-w64-mingw32). But I can
use Visual Studio too, I guess, if that will make things easier
for raco distribute or whatever.

Matthew,
The most likely solution is to make the executable look enough like a
"PLT executable", but I'll have to try it out to pin down additions
that will work.
Are you interested in this only for Unix variants or for all platforms?
I think Windows will be more difficult.
Thank you for the reply.
Not only I need this for both Windows and Linux, but ideally
in the future I would like to ship also a dynamic C library that
uses a Racket library that has runtime paths. For the start,
though, Windows and Linux executables will be enough for my purposes.
Also, if it matters, my Racket library uses some low-level C
libraries itself.
I can not estimate the difficulty of either approach to this problem,
but I am entirely open to solutions that require some special
handling from the C level --- hijacking runtime paths from C maybe?
I do not know.
Best regards,
Dmitry

Hello,
I just created a C program that uses my Racket library via
Racket's embedding mechanism, and it works fantastic.
Now I am wondering---how to ship my C program's
executable if the underlying Racket library has runtime
paths in it? The executable seems to have been set up for
absolute paths of the runtime paths that Racket library uses.
I know that for pure Racket programs, raco distribute
does the job of handling the paths and shipping the program
with all the needed files. I tried (maybe too naively)
to apply raco distribute to my executable, and got the following:
assemble-distribution: file is not a PLT executable
OK, maybe it is not. But what other options do I have?
FWIW, I used the following commands to create the executable:
raco ctool --c-mods base.c ++lib my-library
gcc -c -g -DMZ_PRECISE_GC -I/opt/racket/include -o main.o main.c
gcc -o myprog main.o -lpthread -lm -ldl /opt/racket/lib/libracket3m.a
-rdynamic
the contents of main.c for the most part copies the example
at http://docs.racket-lang.org/inside/embedding.html
Best regards,
Dmitry
