I've seen the page on what C files you have to bundle to allow things to be compiled by people that don't have Chicken, but what I'm unclear on is what you have to do to allow people to run an app that includes eggs. Can anyone give me pointers? What eggs are you using for the app? It is generally no problem to create a set of .c files for distribution, but (as you can probably guess) the process of compiling the right files with the right options isn't always very consistent. Also, what platforms do you want the code to build/run on? cheers, felix ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users

Well, symbols may either be simply `eval'ed, or ``mapped'' to their respective parameters. Since the symbols are going from file, I'd recommend you to ``map'' them. Given that the ``parameter object'' is indistinguishable from a procedure of one optional argument, the ``mapping'' function could be used to signal an error if an invalid symbol was specified in the file. E. g.: (define *the-mapping* `((stdout . ,current-output-port) (stdin . ,current-input-port) )) (define (the-symbol-parameter sym) (cond ((assoc sym *the-mapping*) = cdr) (else (error invalid parameter: sym (define (the-alist-parameters alist) (map (lambda (pair) (cons (the-symbol-parameter (car pair)) (cdr pair))) alist)) ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
[Chicken-users] gdbm and windows
Does anyone know if chicken/gdbm works on windows? I have an app using GDBM that I'd like to port to windows at some point, but I don't actually have a windows setup to try it on right now. Should I be making plans to move it over to sqlite3 or something? martin ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users

Not sure cool is the word, it is of historical interest. T was Yale's implementation of Scheme, sort-of. It was a much larger language than what Scheme was at that time. A real-world implementation of Scheme. The T object system is a clear extension of the generic functions found in Scheme, like '+' for example. It is much more lightweight than CLOS generic functions. Single-dispatch only, but that fits with the usual semantics of Scheme functions - they usually deal with parameters of the same class, like numbers. In the context of Chicken see it as Yet Another Object System. I doubt T will have a revival. In practice it has been eclipsed by MzScheme, Chez Scheme, Chicken, etc. All of which provide a programming system larger than basic Scheme. (And it had idiosyncrasies of its' own. If you can find a copy of The T Programming Language it is worth a look.)
