Re: [racket-dev] having zo files from two versions

Actually specifying two different compile root directories seem to work for most things. The exception is my json lib. I have it for 5.2.1 (since it wasn't included in the standard dist). I'd prefer 6.1 to find the standard one, but it's ok if it uses mine instead. The problem is that maybe it get

I see. If you compile with v5.2.1 first, then it puts files immediately in "compiled", and those will be found by v6.1. If you compile v6.1 first, then the files go in a subdirectory of "compiled", and they won't interfere with v5.2.1, while v6.1 will continue to find the files in the subdirectory

Ok, that seems to be exactly what I'm looking for -- however I tried it and it eventually seems to wind up using just the "compiled" path during raco setup. Example output is here (I've echoed PLTCOMPILEDROOTS at the top, and note this is under windows): http://pasterack.org/pastes/45913 Is that

Does it work to set PLTCOMPILEDROOTS so that it's used by version 6.1, while version 5.2.1 would still read and write files at the default location? The documentation now tracks changes since v6.0, while changes relative to previous versions are recorded separately (and less usefully) in the relea

That method isn't available in 5.2.1, unfortunately. Oh, and wishlist item: the reference docs specify the version the function was introduced in. On Tue, Jan 6, 2015 at 11:39 AM, Matthew Flatt wrote: > You probably want to set `current-compiled-file-roots`, which can be > initialized by the `PL

You probably want to set `current-compiled-file-roots`, which can be initialized by the `PLTCOMPILEDROOTS` environment variable, instead. At Tue, 6 Jan 2015 11:27:35 -0800, Dan Liebgold wrote: > Hmmm... so this should be as easy to implement as: > > (use-compiled-file-paths (list (build-path "c

Hello all - What is a straightforward way to designate the "compiled" directory to look for zo files in that can be based on the Racket version? I'd like to have Racket 5.2.1 and 6.1 running in parallel to aid in upgrading our version. Thanks! -- Dan Liebgold[dan.liebg...@gmail.com] ___
