Let's say I have the following set of files ...
f1a.scm and f1b.c
f2a.scm and f2b.c
f3.scm
File f1a.scm contains scheme procedures that call C functions in f1b.c.
File f2a.scm contains scheme procedures that call C funcitons in f2b.c.
I would like to build a static library f1.a from f1a.scm and f1b.c,
and likewise I wish to build a static library f2.a from f2a.scm and f2b.c.
Finally, assume f3.scm will call scheme procedures from both the f1.a and f2.a static libraries.
What are the appropriate commands for:
building the f1.a and f2.a static libraries
compiling and linking f3.scm with *both* of those static libraries
at the same time.
(I'm looking for an example using gcc on a Linux platform.)
Here are the steps. The gist is that you have to create flat link files for each library, and then create an incremental link file for the final executable from the library link files.
gsc -c -o f1a.c f1a.scm gsc -obj -o f1a.o f1a.c gcc -c -o f1b.o f1b.c gsc -link -flat -o f1_.c f1a.c f1b.c *** WARNING -- "display" is not defined, *** referenced in: ("f1a.c") gsc -obj -o f1_.o -cc-options "-D___LIBRARY" f1_.c ar -rc f1.a f1a.o f1b.o f1_.o gsc -c -o f2a.c f2a.scm gsc -obj -o f2a.o f2a.c gcc -c -o f2b.o f2b.c gsc -link -flat -o f2_.c f2a.c f2b.c *** WARNING -- "display" is not defined, *** referenced in: ("f2a.c") gsc -obj -o f2_.o -cc-options "-D___LIBRARY" f2_.c ar -rc f2.a f2a.o f2b.o f2_.o gsc -c -o f3.c f3.scm gsc -obj -o f3.o f3.c gsc -link -o f3_.c f1_.c f2_.c f3.c gsc -obj -o f3_.o f3_.c gsc -exe -o f3.exe -ld-options "f1.a f2.a" f3_.o f3.o
I have included a tar file which contains an example with makefile. It has been tested on Linux and Mac OS X.

I finally tried actually building the contents of the tar file (silly me, I should have done that right away).
Here are the results I got:

I suspected this was due to the fact that I am using Gambit 4.6.3 compiled with --enable-cplusplus. Sure enough, I compiled another copy without the -enable-cplusplus option, and the code above compiles fine on it.
Then I finally woke up from my stupor, and changed the call to "gcc" on line 7 of the makefile to "g++".
Sometimes I wonder what exotic places my brain visits when it is "on vacation", and if it had a good time while it was there. :-D
