Hi, I am trying to use FIFO's instead of open-process to communicate with a separate process (since open-process doesn't work on MinGW for the moment). It seems that there is also some problems with FIFO's. On MacOSX 10.4 (Gambit-Cb14) I get: (let ((fifo-in (create-fifo "/tmp/myfifo"))) (define p (open-output-file "/tmp/myfifo")) (write '(12 3 4) p)) *** ERROR IN (stdin)@27.13 -- Device not configured (open-output-file "/tmp/myfifo") On MinGW (Gambit-Cb14) I get: *** ERROR IN (stdin)@13.13 -- Unknown Error (create-fifo "/tmp/myfifo") When I do it step by step in the gsi interpreter on MacOSX it works!!! What am I missing?
(create-fifo "/tmp/myfifo") (define p (open-output-file "/tmp/myfifo") (write '(12 3 4) p))
Thank you, Francois Magnan
