%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ SLIB The SLIB package is a portable library for the Scheme programming language. 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. 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; Additional Downloads Required Patch: SLIB Dependencies There are no build dependencies as this package is nothing but many text script files which are copied to the system. If you are installing this package to support a GnuCash installation, you should ensure that is installed so the SLIB catalog for Guile can be created. User Notes: Install SLIB by issuing the following commands: patch -Np1 -i ../slib-&slib-version;-guile_fixes-1.patch && sed -i 's|usr/lib|usr/share|' {RScheme,guile}.init If you have installed and wish to build PDF, Postscript, HTML or text documentation, issue any or all of the following commands: texi2pdf slib.texi && texi2html slib.texi && texi2dvi slib.texi && dvips -o slib.ps slib.dvi && makeinfo -o slib.txt --plaintext slib.texi This package does not come with a functional test suite. Now, as the root user: make prefix=/usr/ \ libdir=/usr/share/ \ mandir=/usr/share/man/ \ infodir=/usr/share/info/ \ install installinfo && install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/slib-&slib-version; && install -v -m644 ANNOUNCE FAQ README /usr/share/doc/slib-&slib-version; If you have installed, create the following symbolic link as the root user to satisfy Guile's default Implementation Vicinity directory. ln -v -s ../slib /usr/share/guile If you built any of the documentation, install it using the following command as the root user: install -v -m644 slib.{pdf,html,dvi,ps,txt,texi} \ /usr/share/doc/slib-&slib-version; sed -i 's|usr/lib|usr/share|' {RScheme,guile}.init: This command is used to change the libdir variable embedded in the two scripts to match the installation variable. make ... install installinfo: This command installs the package and the info documentation into the indicated directories. For many of the Scheme implementations, an SLIB Scheme implementation catalog must be created. If you have installed to support a GnuCash installation, you must create a catalog. You can use the make catalogs command, but there will be many warnings and confusing messages as it tries to create a catalog for many of the possible Scheme implementations which are probably not installed on the system. To create a single catalog just for the Guile installation, issue the following command as the root user: guile -l guile.init \ -c "(use-modules (ice-9 slib)) (require 'new-catalog)" If there was no output from the previous command, and the file /usr/share/guile/slibcat now exists, the catalog was properly created. Installed Program Installed Libraries Installed Directory slib a Scheme library system /usr/share/slib 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
