[Chicken-users] cannot import from undefined module
I'm trying to put some functions into a module, but I'm having difficulties. Everything seems to work when I use csi - putting it into a module causes errors. Here's the specific errors I am encountering: Warning: reference to possibly unbound identifier `read-lines' in: Warning:rep-read-file-lines Warning: reference to possibly unbound identifier `call-with-input- string' in: Warning:rep-read-string I think it has got something to do with the fact that the functions are visible in the namespace used by csi, but not when I create a module. If I try to import srfi-6 in my module, like so: (module mccsl ( define-simple-syntax) (import scheme chicken) (import srfi-6) ... ) I get the compilation error Syntax error (import): cannot import from undefined module What do I do to fix this? It's all proving to be an uphill battle. ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users

It's all proving to be an uphill battle. There is no module called srfi-6. The list of available modules that are included in chicken-core is described in the manual: http://api.call-cc.org/doc/chicken/language all extensions have to be installed with chicken-install and loaded with (use) or (require-extension).

Chicken is a compiler which uses separate compilation, which means we also support cross-compilation. To get all this to work properly, the import libraries are separated from the actual libraries. The import library only contains macro stuff and information about available symbols. To load the library itself, you should use the USE clause: (module mccsl (define-simple-syntax) (import chicken scheme) (use srfi-6) ...) What do I do to fix this? It's all proving to be an uphill battle. We'd appreciate if you could provide hints about how to improve the documentation. This is often a problem for newbies, so we should really try and fix this.

If you need more convenient procedures please have a look at the ports unit. Now while having a look at this I see that one can (use srfi-6) without error because it is mapped to an internal already available module, while (import srfi-6) does not. This seems to be a bug. Thanks for noticing this! Which information would you've liked to have before stumbling on all of this? Maybe that would be a good place to start the improvements, apart from the bug fixing...

Christian Kellermann ck...@pestilenz.org Thanks for noticing this! I'm not sure if I in some way corrupted my install of chicken, but I removed the Debian version of chicken and obtained 4.7.0.5-st.tar.gz from http://wiki.call-cc.org/stability That seems to have fixed my issues. Phew. ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
