Yes, I can confirm that (use base64) does the right thing. Cheers, Graham ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users

(import) is a statement that imports the module into the current module. For that to work, you must have loaded the extension first. The correct incantations are: #;1> (require-library base64) ; loading /home/sjamaan/hygienic/lib/chicken/4/base64.so ... #;2> (import base64) ; loading /home/sjamaan/hygienic/lib/chicken/4/base64.import.so ... ; loading /home/sjamaan/hygienic/lib/chicken/4/chicken.import.so ... ; loading /home/sjamaan/hygienic/lib/chicken/4/scheme.import.so ...

The latter example is the same as you'd do it in Chicken 3. It loads and imports the extension in one go, without allowing you to do any operations on the imported symbols anymore. It's more convenient, but less powerful. I think Felix reinstated the (use ) command also, so you could also just do (use base64), just like you'd do with chicken 3.

[Chicken-users] base64 import problem with chicken-hygienic
Hi folks, it looks like base64 under chicken-hygienic doesn't import properly -- I get the import.so but not the real one. I used the new chicken-install to fetch base64, though I don't think that's relevant. Best, Graham CHICKEN (c)2008 The Chicken Team (c)2000-2007 Felix L.
