at `http://people.csail.mit.edu/jaffer/SCM#QuickStart'.
If there is no precompiled binary for your platform, you may be able to
build from the source distribution. The rest of these instructions
deal with building and installing SCM and SLIB from sources.
Download (both SCM and SLIB of) either the last release or current
development snapshot from
`http://people.csail.mit.edu/jaffer/SCM#BuildFromSource'.
Unzip both the SCM and SLIB zips. For example, if you are working in
`/usr/local/src/', this will create directories `/usr/local/src/scm/'
and `/usr/local/src/slib/'.

2.2 GNU configure and make
==========================
`scm/configure' and `slib/configure' are Shell scripts which create the
files `scm/config.status' and `slib/config.status' on Unix and MinGW
systems.
The `config.status' files are used (included) by the Makefile to
control where the packages will be installed by `make install'. With
GNU shell (bash) and utilities, the following commands should build and
install SCM and SLIB:
bash$ (cd slib; ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/)
bash$ (cd scm
> ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/
> make scmlit
> sudo make all
> sudo make install)
bash$ (cd slib; sudo make install)
If the install commands worked, skip to *note Testing::.
If `configure' doesn't work on your system, make `scm/config.status'
and `slib/config.status' be empty files.
For additional help on using the `configure' script, run
`./configure --help'.
`make all' will attempt to create a dumped executable (*note Saving
Executable Images::), which has very small startup latency. If that
fails, it will try to compile an ordinary `scm' executable.
Note that the compilation output may contain error messages; be
concerned only if the `make install' transcripts contain errors.
`sudo' runs the command after it as user "root". On recent GNU/Linux
systems, dumping requires that `make all' be run as user root; hence
the use of `sudo'.
`make install' requires root privileges if you are installing to
standard Unix locations as specified to (or defaulted by)
`./configure'. Note that this is independent of whether you did
`sudo make all' or `make all'.

2.2.1 Making scmlit
-------------------
The SCM distribution `Makefile' contains rules for making "scmlit", a
"bare-bones" version of SCM sufficient for running `build'. `build' is
a Scheme program used to compile (or create scripts to compile) full
featured versions of SCM (*note Building SCM::). To create scmlit, run
`make scmlit' in the `scm/' directory.
Makefiles are not portable to the majority of platforms. If you need
to compile SCM without `scmlit', there are several ways to proceed:
* Use the build (http://people.csail.mit.edu/jaffer/buildscm.html)
web page to create custom batch scripts for compiling SCM.
* Use SCM on a different platform to run `build' to create a script
to build SCM;
* Use another implementation of Scheme to run `build' to create a
script to build SCM;
* Create your own script or `Makefile'.
Finding SLIB
------------
If you didn't create scmlit using `make scmlit', then you must create a
file named `scm/require.scm'. For most installations,
`scm/require.scm' can just be copied from `scm/requires.scm', which is
part of the SCM distribution.
If, when executing `scmlit' or `scm', you get a message like:
ERROR: "LOAD couldn't find file " "/usr/local/src/scm/require"
then create a file `require.scm' in the SCM "implementation-vicinity"
(this is the same directory as where the file `Init5f1.scm' is).
`require.scm' should have the contents:
(define (library-vicinity) "/usr/local/lib/slib/")
where the pathname string `/usr/local/lib/slib/' is to be replaced by
the pathname into which you unzipped (or installed) SLIB.
Alternatively, you can set the (shell) environment variable
`SCHEME_LIBRARY_PATH' to the pathname of the SLIB directory (*note
SCHEME_LIBRARY_PATH: SCM Variables.). If set, this environment
variable overrides `scm/require.scm'.
Absolute pathnames are recommended here; if you use a relative
pathname, SLIB can get confused when the working directory is changed
(*note chmod: I/O-Extensions.). The way to specify a relative pathname
is to append it to the implementation-vicinity, which is absolute:
(define library-vicinity
(let ((lv (string-append (implementation-vicinity) "../slib/")))
(lambda () lv)))
File: scm-5f2.info, Node: Makefile targets, Prev: Making scmlit, Up: GNU configure and make
2.2.2 Makefile targets
----------------------
Each of the following four `make' targets creates an executable named
`scm'. Each target takes its build options from a file with an `.opt'
suffix. If that options file doesn't exist, making that target will
create the file with the `-F' features: cautious, bignums, arrays,
inexact, engineering-notation, and dynamic-linking. Once that `.opt'
file exists, you can edit it to your taste and it will be preserved.
`make scm4'
Produces a R4RS executable named `scm' lacking hygienic macros
(but with defmacro). The build options are taken from `scm4.opt'.
If build or the executable fails, try removing `dynamic-linking'
from `scm4.opt'.
`make scm5'
R5RS; like `make scm4' but with `-F macro'. The build options are
taken from `scm5.opt'. If build or the executable fails, try
removing `dynamic-linking' from `scm5.opt'.
`make dscm4'
Produces a R4RS executable named `udscm4', which it starts and
dumps to a low startup latency executable named `scm'. The build
options are taken from `udscm4.opt'.
If the build fails, then `build scm4' instead. If the dumped
executable fails to run, then send me a bug report (and use
`build scm4' until the problem with dump is corrected).
`make dscm5'
Like `make dscm4' but with `-F macro'. The build options are
taken from `udscm5.opt'.
If the build fails, then `build scm5' instead. If the dumped
executable fails to run, then send me a bug report (and use
`build scm5' until the problem with dump is corrected).
If the above builds fail because of `-F dynamic-linking', then (because
they can't be dynamically linked) you will likely want to add some
other features to the build's `.opt' file. See the `-F' build option
in *note Build Options::.
If dynamic-linking is working, then you will likely want to compile
most of the modules as "DLL"s. The build options for compiling DLLs
are in `dlls.opt'.
`make x.so'
The `Xlib' module; *note SCM Language X Interface: (Xlibscm)Top.
`make myturtle'
Creates a DLL named `turtlegr.so' which is a simple graphics API.
`make wbscm.so'
The `wb' module; *note B-tree database implementation: (wb)Top.
Compiling this requires that wb source be in a peer directory to
scm.
`make dlls'
Compiles all the distributed library modules, but not `wbscm.so'.
Many of the module compiles are recursively invoked in such a way
that failure of one (which could be due to a system library not
being installed) doesn't cause the top-level `make dlls' to fail.
If `make dlls' fails as a whole, it is time to submit a bug report
(*note Reporting Problems::).

2.3 Building SCM
================
The file "build" loads the file "build.scm", which constructs a
relational database of how to compile and link SCM executables.
`build.scm' has information for the platforms which SCM has been ported
to (of which I have been notified). Some of this information is old,
incorrect, or incomplete. Send corrections and additions to

2.3.1 Invoking Build
--------------------
This section teaches how to use `build', a Scheme program for creating
compilation scripts to produce SCM executables and library modules.
The options accepted by `build' are documented in *note Build Options::.
Use the _any_ method if you encounter problems with the other two
methods (MS-DOS, Unix).
MS-DOS
From the SCM source directory, type `build' followed by up to 9
command line arguments.
Unix
From the SCM source directory, type `./build' followed by command
line arguments.
_any_
From the SCM source directory, start `scm' or `scmlit' and type
`(load "build")'. Alternatively, start `scm' or `scmlit' with the
command line argument `-ilbuild'. This method will also work for
MS-DOS and Unix.
After loading various SLIB modules, the program will print:
type (b "build <command-line>") to build
type (b*) to enter build command loop
The `b*' procedure enters into a "build shell" where you can enter
commands (with or without the `build'). Blank lines are ignored.
To create a build script with all defaults type `build'.
If the build-shell encouters an error, you can reenter the
build-shell by typing `(b*)'. To exit scm type `(quit)'.
Here is a transcript of an interactive (b*) build-shell.

`./myscript.sh'.
Invoking build without the `-F' option will build or create a shell
script with the `arrays', `inexact', and `bignums' options as defaults.

The options to "build" specify what, where, and how to build a SCM
program or dynamically linked module. These options are unrelated to
the SCM command line options.
-- Build Option: -p PLATFORM-NAME
-- Build Option: --platform=PLATFORM-NAME
specifies that the compilation should be for a
computer/operating-system combination called PLATFORM-NAME.
_Note_ The case of PLATFORM-NAME is distinguised. The current
PLATFORM-NAMEs are all lower-case.
The platforms defined by table "platform" in `build.scm' are:

-- Build Option: -f PATHNAME
specifies that the build options contained in PATHNAME be spliced
into the argument list at this point. The use of option files can
separate functional features from platform-specific ones.
The `Makefile' calls out builds with the options in `.opt' files:
`dlls.opt'
Options for Makefile targets dlls, myturtle, and x.so.
`gdb.opt'
Options for udgdbscm and gdbscm.
`libscm.opt'
Options for libscm.a.
`pg.opt'
Options for pgscm, which instruments C functions.
`udscm4.opt'
Options for targets udscm4 and dscm4 (scm).
`udscm5.opt'
Options for targets udscm5 and dscm5 (scm).
The Makefile creates options files it depends on only if they do
not already exist.
-- Build Option: -o FILENAME
-- Build Option: --outname=FILENAME
specifies that the compilation should produce an executable or
object name of FILENAME. The default is `scm'. Executable
suffixes will be added if neccessary, e.g. `scm' => `scm.exe'.
-- Build Option: -l LIBNAME ...
-- Build Option: --libraries=LIBNAME
specifies that the LIBNAME should be linked with the executable
produced. If compile flags or include directories (`-I') are
needed, they are automatically supplied for compilations. The `c'
library is always included. SCM "features" specify any libraries
they need; so you shouldn't need this option often.
-- Build Option: -D DEFINITION ...
-- Build Option: --defines=DEFINITION
specifies that the DEFINITION should be made in any C source
compilations. If compile flags or include directories (`-I') are
needed, they are automatically supplied for compilations. SCM
"features" specify any flags they need; so you shouldn't need this
option often.
-- Build Option: --compiler-options=FLAG
specifies that that FLAG will be put on compiler command-lines.
-- Build Option: --linker-options=FLAG
specifies that that FLAG will be put on linker command-lines.
-- Build Option: -s PATHNAME
-- Build Option: --scheme-initial=PATHNAME
specifies that PATHNAME should be the default location of the SCM
initialization file `Init5f1.scm'. SCM tries several likely
locations before resorting to PATHNAME (*note File-System
Habitat::). If not specified, the current directory (where build
is building) is used.
-- Build Option: -c PATHNAME ...
-- Build Option: --c-source-files=PATHNAME
specifies that the C source files PATHNAME ... are to be compiled.
-- Build Option: -j PATHNAME ...
-- Build Option: --object-files=PATHNAME
specifies that the object files PATHNAME ... are to be linked.
-- Build Option: -i CALL ...
-- Build Option: --initialization=CALL
specifies that the C functions CALL ... are to be invoked during
initialization.
-- Build Option: -t BUILD-WHAT
-- Build Option: --type=BUILD-WHAT
specifies in general terms what sort of thing to build. The
choices are:
`exe'
executable program.
`lib'
library module.
`dlls'
archived dynamically linked library object files.
`dll'
dynamically linked library object file.
The default is to build an executable.
-- Build Option: -h BATCH-SYNTAX
-- Build Option: -batch-dialect=BATCH-SYNTAX
specifies how to build. The default is to create a batch file for
the host system. The SLIB file `batch.scm' knows how to create
batch files for:
* unix
* dos
* vms
* amigaos (was amigados)
* system
This option executes the compilation and linking commands
through the use of the `system' procedure.
* *unknown*
This option outputs Scheme code.
-- Build Option: -w BATCH-FILENAME
-- Build Option: -script-name=BATCH-FILENAME
specifies where to write the build script. The default is to
display it on `(current-output-port)'.
-- Build Option: -F FEATURE ...
-- Build Option: --features=FEATURE
specifies to build the given features into the executable. The
defined features are:
"array"
Alias for ARRAYS
"array-for-each"
array-map! and array-for-each (arrays must also be featured).
"arrays"
Use if you want arrays, uniform-arrays and uniform-vectors.
"bignums"
Large precision integers.
"byte"
Treating strings as byte-vectors.
"byte-number"
Byte/number conversions
"careful-interrupt-masking"
Define this for extra checking of interrupt masking and some
simple checks for proper use of malloc and free. This is for
debugging C code in `sys.c', `eval.c', `repl.c' and makes the
interpreter several times slower than usual.
"cautious"
Normally, the number of arguments arguments to interpreted
closures (from LAMBDA) are checked if the function part of a
form is not a symbol or only the first time the form is
executed if the function part is a symbol. defining
`reckless' disables any checking. If you want to have SCM
always check the number of arguments to interpreted closures
define feature `cautious'.
"cheap-continuations"
If you only need straight stack continuations, executables
compile with this feature will run faster and use less
storage than not having it. Machines with unusual stacks
_need_ this. Also, if you incorporate new C code into scm
which uses VMS system services or library routines (which
need to unwind the stack in an ordrly manner) you may need to
use this feature.
"compiled-closure"
Use if you want to use compiled closures.
"curses"
For the "curses" screen management package.
"debug"
Turns on the features `cautious' and
`careful-interrupt-masking'; uses `-g' flags for debugging
SCM source code.
"differ"
Sequence comparison
"dont-memoize-locals"
SCM normally converts references to local variables to ILOCs,
which make programs run faster. If SCM is badly broken, try
using this option to disable the MEMOIZE_LOCALS feature.
"dump"
Convert a running scheme program into an executable file.
"dynamic-linking"
Be able to load compiled files while running.
"edit-line"
interface to the editline or GNU readline library.
"engineering-notation"
Use if you want floats to display in engineering notation
(exponents always multiples of 3) instead of scientific
notation.
"generalized-c-arguments"
`make_gsubr' for arbitrary (< 11) arguments to C functions.
"i/o-extensions"
Commonly available I/O extensions: "exec", line I/O, file
positioning, file delete and rename, and directory functions.
"inexact"
Use if you want floating point numbers.
"lit"
Lightweight - no features
"macro"
C level support for hygienic and referentially transparent
macros (syntax-rules macros).
"mysql"
Client connections to the mysql databases.
"no-heap-shrink"
Use if you want segments of unused heap to not be freed up
after garbage collection. This may increase time in GC for
*very* large working sets.
"none"
No features
"posix"
Posix functions available on all "Unix-like" systems. fork
and process functions, user and group IDs, file permissions,
and "link".
"reckless"
If your scheme code runs without any errors you can disable
almost all error checking by compiling all files with
`reckless'.
"record"
The Record package provides a facility for user to define
their own record data types. See SLIB for documentation.
"regex"
String regular expression matching.
"rev2-procedures"
These procedures were specified in the `Revised^2 Report on
Scheme' but not in `R4RS'.
"sicp"
Use if you want to run code from:
Harold Abelson and Gerald Jay Sussman with Julie Sussman.
`Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs.' The MIT
Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, 1985.
Differences from R5RS are:
* (eq? '() '#f)
* (define a 25) returns the symbol a.
* (set! a 36) returns 36.
"single-precision-only"
Use if you want all inexact real numbers to be single
precision. This only has an effect if SINGLES is also
defined (which is the default). This does not affect complex
numbers.
"socket"
BSD "socket" interface. Socket addr functions require
inexacts or bignums for 32-bit precision.
"tick-interrupts"
Use if you want the ticks and ticks-interrupt functions.
"turtlegr"
"Turtle" graphics calls for both Borland-C and X11 from
sjm@ee.tut.fi.
"unix"
Those unix features which have not made it into the Posix
specs: nice, acct, lstat, readlink, symlink, mknod and sync.
"wb"
WB database with relational wrapper.
"wb-no-threads"
no-comment
"windows"
Microsoft Windows executable.
"x"
Alias for Xlib feature.
"xlib"
Interface to Xlib graphics routines.

2.4 Saving Executable Images
============================
In SCM, the ability to save running program images is called "dump"
(*note Dump::). In order to make `dump' available to SCM, build with
feature `dump'. `dump'ed executables are compatible with dynamic
linking.
Most of the code for "dump" is taken from `emacs-19.34/src/unex*.c'.
No modifications to the emacs source code were required to use
`unexelf.c'. Dump has not been ported to all platforms. If `unexec.c'
or `unexelf.c' don't work for you, try using the appropriate `unex*.c'
file from emacs.
The `dscm4' and `dscm5' targets in the SCM `Makefile' save images from
`udscm4' and `udscm5' executables respectively.
"Address space layout randomization" interferes with `dump'. Here are
the fixes for various operating-systems:
Fedora-Core-1
Remove the `#' from the line `#SETARCH = setarch i386' in the
`Makefile'.
Fedora-Core-3
`http://jamesthornton.com/writing/emacs-compile.html' [For FC3]
combreloc has become the default for recent GNU ld, which breaks
the unexec/undump on all versions of both Emacs and XEmacs...
Override by adding the following to `udscm5.opt':
`--linker-options="-z nocombreloc"'
Linux Kernels later than 2.6.11
`http://www.opensubscriber.com/message/emacs-devel@gnu.org/1007118.html'
mentions the "exec-shield" feature. Kernels later than 2.6.11
must do (as root):
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space
before dumping. `Makefile' has this `randomize_va_space' stuffing
scripted for targets `dscm4' and `dscm5'. You must either set
`randomize_va_space' to 0 or run as root to dump.
OS-X 10.6
`http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/Manpages/man1/dyld.1.html'
The dynamic linker uses the following environment variables. They
affect any program that uses the dynamic linker.
DYLD_NO_PIE
Causes dyld to not randomize the load addresses of images in a
process where the main executable was built position independent.
This can be helpful when trying to reproduce and debug a problem
in a PIE.

2.5 Installation
================
Once `scmlit', `scm', and `dlls' have been built, these commands will
install them to the locations specified when you ran `./configure':
bash$ (cd scm; make install)
bash$ (cd slib; make install)
Note that installation to system directories (like `/usr/bin/') will
require that those commands be run as root:
bash$ (cd scm; sudo make install)
bash$ (cd slib; sudo make install)

2.6.6 Reporting Problems
------------------------
Reported problems and solutions are grouped under Compiling, Linking,
Running, and Testing. If you don't find your problem listed there, you
can send a bug report to `agj@alum.mit.edu' or `scm-discuss@gnu.org'.
The bug report should include:
1. The version of SCM (printed when SCM is invoked with no arguments).
2. The type of computer you are using.
3. The name and version of your computer's operating system.
4. The values of the environment variables `SCM_INIT_PATH' and
`SCHEME_LIBRARY_PATH'.
5. The name and version of your C compiler.
6. If you are using an executable from a distribution, the name,
vendor, and date of that distribution. In this case,
corresponding with the vendor is recommended.

3.7 Editing Scheme Code
=======================
-- Function: ed arg1 ...
The value of the environment variable `EDITOR' (or just `ed' if it
isn't defined) is invoked as a command with arguments ARG1 ....
-- Function: ed filename
If SCM is compiled under VMS `ed' will invoke the editor with a
single the single argument FILENAME.
Gnu Emacs:
Editing of Scheme code is supported by emacs. Buffers holding
files ending in .scm are automatically put into scheme-mode.
If your Emacs can run a process in a buffer you can use the Emacs
command `M-x run-scheme' with SCM. Otherwise, use the emacs
command `M-x suspend-emacs'; or see "other systems" below.
Epsilon (MS-DOS):
There is lisp (and scheme) mode available by use of the package
`LISP.E'. It offers several different indentation formats. With
this package, buffers holding files ending in `.L', `.LSP', `.S',
and `.SCM' (my modification) are automatically put into lisp-mode.
It is possible to run a process in a buffer under Epsilon. With
Epsilon 5.0 the command line options `-e512 -m0' are neccessary to
manage RAM properly. It has been reported that when compiling SCM
with Turbo C, you need to `#define NOSETBUF' for proper operation
in a process buffer with Epsilon 5.0.
One can also call out to an editor from SCM if RAM is at a
premium; See "under other systems" below.
other systems:
Define the environment variable `EDITOR' to be the name of the
editing program you use. The SCM procedure `(ed arg1 ...)' will
invoke your editor and return to SCM when you exit the editor. The
following definition is convenient:
(define (e) (ed "work.scm") (load "work.scm"))
Typing `(e)' will invoke the editor with the file of interest.
After editing, the modified file will be loaded.
