Ciao,

I have some acquaintance with R5RS, I have successfully compiled a hello-world program with GSC, I have skimmed through the "Link Files" node of Gambit's documentation.

Can someone point me to a small, non-advanced, Gambit-only, does-the-right-thing, shared-library oriented package which precompiles and installs a library for Gambit, so that I can understand what does it mean in terms of compilation commands, installation conventions, etc.?

Also, what's the difference between a Gambit's source distribution and a "-devel" source distribution? (I was not able to find it on Gambit's site.)

TIA

P.S. I cannot make the grammar-nazi in me shut up: sometimes in the doc, the variants of the word "separate" are spelled "seperate". -- Marco Maggi _______________________________________________ Gambit-list mailing list Gambit-list@iro.umontreal.ca https://webmail.iro.umontreal.ca/mailman/listinfo/gambit-list

I don't know about any good examples but personally I have been using the Black Hole module system ( http://dynamo.iro.umontreal.ca/~gambit/wiki/index.php/Black_Hole ) to take care of all the compilation, encapsulation and dependency issues in my code. It's quite easy to use and seems like a nice way to distribute Gambit libraries.
