Re BH, you may be interested in checking out the nonsyntactic tower version at https://github.com/pereckerdal/blackhole/tree/legacy as that one is most tested and tried currently.


For installation please refer to the mailing list post of 2012-11-29.

Further updates are coming to Black Hole, at a currently unspecified date.

I would guess it works great on Windows either directly or with some trivla tweak, feel free to let the list know.

Thanks for this info. I downloaded the bundled "non syntactic tower" version you linked to & followed the instructions in your ML post. Unfortunately I get the following error when launching `bsc'

*** ERROR IN ##u8vector->object -- deserialization error

The only u8vector<->object serialization done is of ns.dat in Black Hole's home directory. I believed this was not included there.

Please remove this file and try again - it'll make a new one.

If this was the thing, my fault.


A quick grep found the offending code in module.scm, function `read-ns-table'. Not sure how to go about fixing that.

Now, did this solve your problem, or do you by some reason want to proceed with digging into the (compile-file-to-target "/dev/null" ... issue with syntactictower BH?

Well, as described above I couldn't get the "non syntactic tower" version to work, so unless there's a quick fix for the issue I'd be tempted to just fix Gambit to treat an argument of `NUL' to `compile-file-to-target' as a special case & not prepend the CWD. Can you provide help with either issue?

Regards,
Ralph
