It provides a platform independent framework for using packages of Scheme procedures and syntax. Its catalog can be transparently extended to accommodate packages specific to a site, implementation, user or directory. SLIB provides compatibility and utility functions for all standard Scheme implementations including Bigloo, Chez, ELK 3.0, GAMBIT 3.0, Guile, JScheme, MacScheme, MITScheme, PLT Scheme (DrScheme and MzScheme), Pocket Scheme, RScheme, scheme->C, Scheme48, SCM, SCM Mac, scsh, Stk, T3.1, umb-scheme, and VSCM. &lfs74_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &slib-md5sum; Download size: &slib-size; Estimated disk space required: &slib-buildsize; Estimated build time: &slib-time; SLIB Dependencies Required . User Notes: Installation of SLIB Install SLIB by issuing the following commands: sed -i 's|usr/lib|usr/share|' RScheme.init && ./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/share && sed -i -e 's# scm$# guile#;s#ginstall-info#install-info#' \ -e 's/no-split -o/no-split --force -o/' Makefile && makeinfo -o slib.txt --plaintext --force slib.texi && makeinfo -o slib.html --html --no-split --force slib.texi This package does not come with a functional test suite. Now, as the root user: make install && ln -v -sf ../slib /usr/share/guile && mkdir -pv /usr/share/guile/site/2.0 && guile -c "(use-modules (ice-9 slib)) (require 'printf)" && install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/slib-&slib-version; && install -v -m644 ANNOUNCE FAQ README slib.{txt,html} /usr/share/doc/slib-&slib-version; Command Explanations sed -i 's|usr/lib|usr/share|' RScheme.init: This command is used to change the libdir variable embedded in the script to match the installation. : This option puts the installed in files /usr/share/slib instead of /usr/lib/slib. makeinfo ... --force ... : This command creates needed documentation, but needs the option to overcome warnings that are flagged as errors in recent versions of makeinfo. ln -v -sf ../slib /usr/share/guile: This command puts a symbolic link to the slib files in Guile's default Implementation Vicinity. guile -c "(use-modules (ice-9 slib)) (require 'printf)": This command creates a guile catalog of the slib files. Contents Installed Program Installed Libraries Installed Directory slib a Scheme library system /usr/share/slib, /usr/share/guile/site/2.0, and /usr/share/doc/slib-&slib-version; Short Descriptions slib is a shell script used to initialize SLIB in a named Scheme implementation. It can also be used to initialize an SLIB session using a given executable. slib
