Feathers is part of the core system and ths spock stuff could in theory simply be treated as data and installed/accessed from a diffent location, so it is already possible, even if not ideal. But a patch is pending, as you probably know, so no need to panic. felix ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users

Also, on my machine I consider the entire /opt/chicken prefix to be my "chicken installation tree", and I don't want to put anything outside of that, but I do want to put things inside in any location that appears right, not just one of three fixed paths ;-) Ciao, Thomas -- There are only two things wrong with C++: The initial concept and the implementation. -- Bertrand Meyer ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users

SPOCK for instance installs its Scheme *and* JS runtime into PREFIX/lib/chicken/8/spock/. The latter is neither a scheme-include nor a c-include. Feathers installs itself into PREFIX/share/chicken/feathers.tcl. I'm not sure what I'd categorize these as, but I suspect these eggs cannot be ported until you can specify a PREFIX-relative destination directory (as opposed to specifying the type of file to be installed).
