On my x86 (64bit) it does this too: #;1> (number->string (current-seconds)) "1318834910.0" Is your arms time correct? Maybe the seconds fit in a fixnum so there won't be a flonum output?

Well at least with extensions officially static linking is no longer supported because most egg authors don't care or don't test their extensions against statically linking. But it is still possible to do so. Check the unit section of the manual (maybe even an older version if it is already gone). However, I would advise against doing so before you haven't gotten a good understanding of scheme and chicken. > 3) is it possible to build standalone win binary? You will always need the chicken runtime for your program. You can bundle it together with your app. See the -deploy option and the section about deploying in the wiki/manual. Maybe that will also solve your problem at 2) since it bundles all DLLs necessary into one directory. HTH, Christian -- Who can (make) the muddy water (clear)?

I see the API contains a good list of BDB options... and luckily they seem far simpler to understand that the plethora of combinations possible in C. :-) Regards, @ndy -- andy...@ashurst.eu.org http://www.ashurst.eu.org/ 0x7EBA75FF ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users

I understand that BDB is available under the GPL for certain uses. Does your work get infected with that or is it entirely stand-alone? What happens if I have BDB under a commercial license?

It's not my intent to prevent the usage of my code in a commercial context. But of course I can only define the licensing terms for the software I have written myself, not for its external dependencies. As far as I can tell, BerkeleyDB is not licensed under GPL. Its standard license does require that you release the source code of software using BerkeleyDB, but unlike GPL it doesn't prescribe the precise licensing terms of such code. [1] Since I distribute my binding code in source form anyway, I don't see any problems here. If you use my CHICKEN binding for BerkeleyDB you will have to observe the licensing terms of both the binding code and the original library. The license of the binding code does not pose any restrictions on you concerning use in commercial and/or closed source context, other than requiring you to preserve the copyright and license note. So while the standard license of BerkeleyDB apparently prescribes open sources for anything using it, iff you have a special license of BerkeleyDB allowing you to use it in a closed source project, I don't see any reason why you shouldn't be able to also use it through my binding in that context. However, I'm not an expert on intellectual property law, so please consult someone who is, if you want reliable legal advice ;-) Ciao, Thomas [1] http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/berkeleydb/downloads/oslicense-093458.html -- When C++ is your hammer, every problem looks like your thumb. ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
