Matthew,
I think the problem may be that "#lang" is triggering a search for
`slon/main` before falling back to `slon/lang/reader`, and since no
`slon/main` is embedded, the attempt looks for a "slon" collection. The
"#lang" search continues as it should when an "slon" collection is
found and no "main.rkt" exists, but it doesn't fail correctly when an
"slon" collection is missing.
So, one more experiment: If you make a dummy "slon/main.rkt" and also
add it with `++lib`, does it change anything?
Yes it changes everything!
$ raco exe ++lib slon/slon-language ++lib slon/lang/reader ++lib
slon/main slon-main.rkt
$ raco distribute slon-distr slon-main
and I have a working distribution now. Thank you so much!
(having some issues with sqlite though, but maybe it is not
raco's fault--I will explore further and report if I can
not fix it)
Regards,
Dmitry
