Re: [Chicken-users] Mac OS X: chicken-setup's access to fink-installed libraries
Stephen, I haven't tried this in a few months, but last time I checked, chicken will use any options you provided at ./configure time. So for example you could probably say ./configure CFLAGS="-O2 -L/sw/lib -I/sw/include" and the options should be used automatically in the future. Some people have other ways of passing arguments to configure (there was a discussion about it on the list) but for me that way always works. This assumes you -always- want /sw to be looked at, which may be a problem if you also install stuff in /usr/local/lib occasionally. Otherwise I have been using the "-c" option to chicken-setup as you have found. On 1/11/07, Stephen C.

Feature request: - "chicken" automatically includes options specified in the environment variable "CHICKEN_OPTIONS". Can we extend that mechanism to "csc" "csi" and "chicken-setup"? Environment variable names that follow the pattern would be "CSC_OPTIONS" "CSI_OPTIONS" and "CHICKEN_SETUP_OPTIONS". In this case, I would specify "CSC_OPTIONS". CSI_OPTIONS is already available, and CHICKEN_SETUP_OPTIONS has been added recently (available in the darcs repository and the current development snapshot). I'll add CSC_OPTIONS, though.

This wouldn't be a good move. People use Fink, pkgsrc and Darwinports as packaging system under OS X. You can never be sure what to use. Also, many people install some software under /usr/local and some distros and application even insist on installing stuff under /opt or other weird paths. I've occasionaly had library path problems too, but these were most often because of Linuxisms rather than path issues. If you install Chicken from pkgsrc, it adds /usr/pkg/lib to its search path because the Chicken support libraries are there too. I assume this works the same with Fink. If you can't do that, you can still export CHICKEN_OPTIONS into the environment. This variable should contain additional flags that should be passed to the Chicken compiler. You could add the necessary include and library paths there.
