Having too many scattered places for discussion would make it more difficult to track information and questions related to one egg. I agree with that - any input on the discussion pages is likely not to be noticed or quickly forgotten. cheers, felix ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
Re: [Chicken-users] Status of 4.5.0 vs. 4.5.7 / TinyCLOS
From: Mike Anderson chic...@gingerbread.plus.com Subject: [Chicken-users] Status of 4.5.0 vs. 4.5.7 / TinyCLOS Date: Sun, 05 Sep 2010 17:59:17 +0100 Hello, I'm new to Chicken, and confused as to what is the current stable release. According to the Download link at call-cc.org, the current release is 4.5.0, but in the Development snapshots, there is 4.5.7. Meanwhile, I tried to install the TinyCLOS egg, and it seems that it depends on a feature introduced in 4.5.2 (-no-procedure-checks-for-toplevel-bindings). I have removed that option, TinyCLOS 1.8.3 should be available now. I strongly recommend to use COOPS. TinyCLOS is obsolete and should not be used. cheers, felix ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
Re: [Chicken-users] Incremental build, tricks or tips anyone?
From: Matthew Welland m...@kiatoa.com Subject: [Chicken-users] Incremental build, tricks or tips anyone? Date: Sun, 5 Sep 2010 14:52:24 -0700 I am updating some old code and the build broke because chicken-config no longer exists. It took a while but I finally found that all I had to do was replace chicken-config with csc. I.e. csc -cflags in place of chicken-config -cflags. My question is, does anyone have a nicer way of doing this? I sometimes work on very weak machines such as single board computers and really appreciate build times of seconds instead of minutes when only one file has changed. I think, you could simply use `csc': src_code := laedlib tc_laedlib re-route scm_files := $(addprefix ../scm/,$(addsuffix .scm,$(src_code))) c_files := $(addprefix src/,$(addsuffix .c,$(src_code))) o_files := $(addprefix src/,$(addsuffix .o,$(src_code))) $(c_files): src/%.c: ../scm/%.scm ../scm/macros.scm chicken $ -output-file $@ csc -t $ -o $@ $(o_files): src/%.o: src/%.c gcc -c $ `chicken-config -cflags` -o $@ csc -c $ -o $@ $(src_code): %: src/%.o src/laedlib.o gcc src/$*.o src/laedlib.o -o $* `chicken-config -libs` csc src/$*.o src/laedlib.o -o $* (I have not tested this) cheers, felix ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users

Small text, for a start! It shouldn't consume too much room in every row. 2) For each egg, a link to http://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/4/EGG/discussion or some such, to encourage user feedback, feature requests, etc. That seems like a good idea, but we've had discussion pages for the entire duration of our svnwiki use, and to my knowledge nobody ever used them. Because of that I didn't build discussion pages into qwiki, since it would be just another unused feature I'd have to maintain. Does it need special wiki software support? I thought it'd just be another page with a name generated from the egg-page name, and one that people should feel more confident about adding questions, requests, and so on to than the egg page itself. Where's the tool that generates this page live, anyway? I'd guess somewhere under chicken-eggs/maintenance, but I can't find it. SPOOKY! :-) Cheers, Peter ABS -- Alaric Snell-Pym http://www.snell-pym.org.uk/alaric/ ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
