Hi everyone.
With the new version of Gambit, I decided to take some time to fix the installer and chose to install gambit in
$prefix/bin/{gsi-$version,gsc-$version} $prefix/lib/gambit-c/$version $prefix/doc/gambit-c/$version $prefix/share/gambit-c/$version $prefix/info/gambit-c/$version $prefix/include/gambit-c/$version
(the hardcoded "gambit-c" couls also be a variable, for those who run only one version of gambit and want to install directly into the $prefix subtree.)
This should hopefully allow those who want to run several versions of gambit at once to do so (which explains the current behaviour of the installer), and also avoid clashes with names already taken by other binaires (such as ghostscript).
Yet, there's two issues for which I need your advice: - Where should I put syntax-case.scm? - What happens to the shortcut "~~" in file paths?
ideally, "~~" should be expanded by the binaries into the corresponding path (such as $prefix/lib/gambit-c/$version) where everything needed is found, and where I plan to put syntax-case.scm
The aim of this "fix" is to make gambit fully portable and configurable on as many OSs as possible.
So ?
