Emacs + Gambit on Windows
by Siddharth 04 Déc '09

04 Déc '09

Hi, I'm trying out gambit 4.5.3 on Windows XP. I installed it using the mingw distribution. I can run both gsc and gsi just fine from a command console, but I can't seem to get inferior scheme mode working on Emacs (v23.1.1). I put gambit.el in my load path and set (require 'gambit) in my .emacs file. When I try to run gsi using Meta-x run-scheme, I get a new emacs buffer but don't seen the REPL. If I try to run gsi from a dos shell within emacs, a new windows pops up with gsi running, but it doesn't echo anything that I type. Any ideas? -- Siddharth

Mark, For lib/makefile, I end up replacing $(INSTFILES_LIB_DATA) with $$INSTFILES_LIB_DATA. I also stripped out the backslash symbol from both the HEADERS_SCM and the LIBRARIES_SCM variables from the same file to allow the make install work for Solaris 10.

Advice on structure serialisation
by Alex Queiroz 01 Déc '09

01 Déc '09

Hallo, I am investigating the use of object->u8vector for serialisation of game state. It seems pretty straightforward, but I am concerned with future updates. I suppose that if I alter the structure in future versions I must change the 'id' field as well, so the old serialised structures won't be recognised as of the same type? Are there other gotchas I should be aware of? Cheers, -- -alex @asandroq http://www.ventonegro.org/

Alex, I put ginstall in my current working directory and it doesn't seems to make any change in the results.

Serialization of structures
by François Magnan 30 Nov '09

30 Nov '09

Hi, I found a strange behavior with serialization/deserialization: (define-structure point x y color) (define p (make-point 3 5 'red)) (point? (u8vector->object (object->u8vector p))) ==> #f Here is my version info: gsi -v v4.5.3 20091112143817 i386-apple-darwin10.2.0 "./configure --no-create --no-recursion" Are structures serializable? Thank you Francois Magnan
