Right now chicken on is marked as broken on osx. I've installed chicken with homebrew and it worked fine. Does anyone know why it is marked as broken? Also, some feedback from people who have a working chicken install would be really useful.
So far I've: 1. Installed chicken This works fine and chicken itself works for some simple tests. In addition, I can load the eggs that it comes with. I was a bit surprised since it is marked as broken but seems to pass some simple tests. Does anyone know why it is marked as broken? 2. Installed eggs with egg2nix, which is not marked as broken on osx. While this seems to work, chicken cannot find the installed eggs. For example, I've installed args, but chicken doesn't think so: $ csi CHICKEN (c) 2008-2015, The CHICKEN Team (c) 2000-2007, Felix L. Winkelmann Version 4.10.0 (rev b259631) macosx-unix-clang-x86-64 [ 64bit manyargs dload ptables ] compiled 2015-08-04 on yves.more-magic.net (Linux) ; loading /Users/bsweene/.csirc ... #;1> (use args) Error: (import) during expansion of (import ...) - cannot import from undefined module: args It seems that the compiled eggs are not placed along the ones that chicken can find. I guess it is because they are in a different location. For example, args ends up in: /nix/store/13x8wllc6bkvy5avlgz78j2r83k1nbck-chicken-args-1.5.1/lib/chicken/7/args.so while the eggs that chicken can find are in: /nix/store/8qm7x5jd7md8imblqba8yl47p8m63pg6-chicken-4.10.0/var/lib/chicken/7/ Is this intentional? Do linux installs work differently? 3. Test out chicken-status with: $ chicken-status (none) This says no eggs are installed and I would expect that the posix and other installed eggs are list. Also, when looking at the wrapped script, I see that CHICKEN_REPOSITORY is not set, which I would expect considering the non-standard install layout. Does chicken-status work on linux installs? Should CHICKEN_REPOSITORY be set? At this point I've stopped since I don't know what should be happening, or why chicken is marked as broken. _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
