(I'm sure there's a better way to write the script, but this would do the trick.) cheers, Graham ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
[Chicken-users] chicken-setup feature-request
Hi, may i request a feature for chicken-setup, unless i missed something and it's allready there, of course. The thing is that i want to be able to specifiy the path where eggs are fetched and built into. At the moment i have a separate directory where i need to change into prior to a chicken-setup-call in order to not pollute my filesystem (my homedir most of the time) with the eggs being spread everywhere :) My idea is to control it via an environmentvariable. A suitable default-value for unixes would probably be /tmp. As the build-dir is allready a prameter, you could just parameterize it, no? If there is allready such a feature could you please tell me about it?

The build-dir parameter is currently only suitable for reading, so its not quite that easy. But I'll think of something. cheers, felix ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users

This is useful because during package building, the files are installed in a different directory than the root directory. This way the installed files do not overwrite the files present on the system. I noticed that there is a -P switch for the installation path of commands. That solved the build problems for several eggs. Unfortunately, there is no equivalent for documentation or for example files. Doesn't -R (-repository) solve this problem? This will let you specify where the repository is, which determines where docs/examples and compiled eggs are copied. -P will give the directory for scripts and programs, so with both of these options you should be ok. cheers, felix -- http://galinha.ucpel.tche.br:8081/blog/blog.ssp ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
