I'd like to get Meroon up in Gambit. I'm using Bradley Lucier's port, which seems to almost work. With the requisite (load "_meroon") in gambcini, I can use meroon in gsi. But gsc complains quite a bit:

$ gsc class.scm [ Meroon V3 Paques2001+1 $Revision: 1.1 $ ] *** WARNING -- "Class-allocator" is not defined, *** referenced in: ("class.c") *** WARNING -- "Inlinable-Class-class" is not defined, *** referenced in: ("class.c") ... and so on.

The build succeeds, but the executable fails like so:

*** ERROR IN | class| -- Operator is not a PROCEDURE (#!unbound #!unbound)

Am I doing something wrong?

Well, it's kind of a pain to build a standalone executable with Meroon. ... When I just tried it I found out I didn't know how to do it, either. Here's how far I got, perhaps someone can finish it.

First you build _meroon, but keep .c files around.

euler-45% ./make_meroon <whatever>

Then you find out what the options are for compiling C code on your machine.

euler-45% cat `which gsc-cc-o` #! /bin/sh GSC_CC_O_ARG1=$1 shift GSC_CC_O_ARG2=$1 shift GSC_CC_O_ARG3=$1 shift gcc -Wall -W -Wno-unused -O1 -fno-math-errno -fschedule-insns2 -fno- trapping-math -fno-strict-aliasing -fwrapv -fomit-frame-pointer -fPIC -fno-common -mieee-fp -rdynamic -shared -I${GSC_CC_O_ARG1}include - D___DYNAMIC -D___SINGLE_HOST -o ${GSC_CC_O_ARG2} $* ${GSC_CC_O_ARG3}

My application file is called linearalgebra.scm; compile it, link it with _meroon.c:

euler-55% gsc Gambit Version 4.0 beta 17

(load "_meroon")

[ Meroon V3 Paques2001+1 $Revision: 1.1 $ ] "/export/users/lucier/programs/MeroonV3-2001Apr24/_meroon.o1"

(compile-file-to-c "linearalgebra")

#t

(link-incremental '("_meroon" "linearalgebra") "linearalgebra_.c")

Then I tried to compile it, but got

euler-69% gcc -Wall -W -Wno-unused -O1 -fno-math-errno -fschedule- insns2 -fno-trapping-math -fno-strict-aliasing -fwrapv -fomit-frame- pointer -fPIC -fno-common -mieee-fp -I/pkgs/Gambit-C/include -L/pkgs/ Gambit-C/lib -D___SINGLE_HOST _meroon.c linearalgebra.c linearalgebra_.c -o linearalgebra -lgambc -lm /tmp/ccXgPFhV.o(.text+0x8d1b3): In function `____20___meroon_2e_o1': : undefined reference to `___S_gambit' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I haven't built a standalone application with Meroon in years, sorry, I always do stuff like:

euler-72% gsc Gambit Version 4.0 beta 17

(load "_meroon")

[ Meroon V3 Paques2001+1 $Revision: 1.1 $ ] "/export/users/lucier/programs/MeroonV3-2001Apr24/_meroon.o1"

(compile-file "linearalgebra")

#t

(load "linearalgebra")
