Re: [Chicken-users] Problems installing call-with-environment-variables
Matt, do you mind running a chicken-install -s cock separately and see if it solves the installation-problem? I've done some work recently but haven't updated its dependents to specify the latest version. Really hate that name btw, very embarrassing to be working with a young female co-worker and have to maneuver around saying the name out loud, reflects very poorly on Chicken Scheme IMHO. Isn't it a rooster-pun, given Chicken? ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
Re: [Chicken-users] egg names
There was an issue recently where a user couldn't install a package that dependent on cock but was unable to due to the corporate firewall. That's an aggressive heuristic! Meet Hahn, by the way: http://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/4/hahn Now to update all the dependents! ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users

Definitely in favour of a rename.

Peter Bex pe...@more-magic.net writes: I'm sorry to say it, but this egg contains a lot of strange mistakes and weird things; for example, the setup-file tries to emit a module named funky, which does not exist. Also, the renaming procedure from explicit renaming macro transformers is referred to as inject, which is extremely misleading: that's the _opposite_ of what it does! Heh, the `funky` was a copy-paste mistake; oops. ;) It's also a bit of a problem that csc doesn't give an error when trying to emit an import file that doesn't exist. I've created a ticket so we don't forget: https://bugs.call-cc.org/ticket/1188 The opposite of inject would be extract; can you explain this a little more? I'll admit, I'm quite confused by Chicken's syntax extensions. The opposite of inject in macros is rename. Injection causes the specified identifier to be used as-is, unhygienically. Renaming causes the identifier to be renamed so it won't shadow (or be shadowed by) any locally available identifiers at the macro expansion site. There are a few tutorials about how this works, see http://wiki.call-cc.org/tutorials I liked the separation between compilation scope for the 'core' and the ecosystem of methods that build upon it. I agree, it's somewhat confusing at first glance, but it made catching the problems faster when I had yet to write any tests. ;) Yeah, it may just work. Thank-you again! This egg was my first real foray into playing with Chicken's lower level syntax extensions; and I must say it's been rather confusing, which seems to have been due to gross misunderstandings on my part. No problem. If you have further questions, just ask :) Cheers, Peter signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users

Re: [Chicken-users] Problems installing call-with-environment-variables
I do see this Warning: in toplevel unknown procedure: branches in conditional expression differ in the number of results: I'll take a look! When I re-install call-with-environment-variables it now succeeds but I do see this: sh: cock: command not found cock-utils not installed: not creating documentation That's benign; mainly informational. It's not a big deal, it just felt unprofessional at that moment, like I was installing some software written by a 12 year old. Hmm; maybe it's time for a rebranding. ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
