Re: [racket-dev] cgywin build working? Which line endings?

2011-01-19 Thread Carolyn Oates
I would suggest being sure the code you are trying to compile under cygwin, 
builds under straight Linux first.
I tried building Racket under cygwin end of Nov./Dec. unsuccessfully. In 
#racket they told me I was on my own.So I switched to straight Linux (Ubuntu 
10.10) and in the end got just the text version from a development build the 
end of Dec. to build/work, which was enough for me. From the forums I think the 
problems with building all of Racket under Linux have been fixed, but I haven't 
had time nor need to try it out again.
Assuming your student gets the Racket cygwin build to work - Please post 
anything special you have do. I expect to get back to this in Feb.

[racket-dev] changing #lang plai to depend on racket rather than scheme?

2011-01-19 Thread John Clements
I went looking for the immutable hash table functions in plai today, and I 
discovered that since plai is based on #lang scheme rather than #lang racket, 
you need to use old names in a bunch of places.

Just for the heck of it, I went ahead and changed scheme - racket in two 
places in plai/main.rkt, and... things seem to work fine.  However, I don't see 
a test suite that I could run to check this.

1) Is there a test suite somewhere? The obvious one would be running all of the 
code in the PLAI textbook.  
2) Is there some reason why this change would be a bad idea or cause problems?

There are very small test suites for the core library (datatype and
test) in tests/plai

 2) Is there some reason why this change would be a bad idea or cause problems?

I can't think of anything, because so much of the book's use of
library functions is very minimal. I'd go ahead and do it.
