Re: scheme implementations for cygwin

["Reini Urban" <rurban at x-ray dot at>]

Great!
Care to ITP them? I would review them. We would just need
debian links.
At least bigloo and slib should be in the official distro.

Aren't there some more requires missing?
You have only libgmp, which should be libgmp3.
I would also expect libsqlite3_0 srfi openssl

CONF_ARGS --enable-calendar --enable-fthread --enable-gstreamer \
        --enable-mail --enable-multimedia --enable-pkgcomp --enable-pkglib \
        --enable-pthread --enable-sqlite --enable-srfi1 --enable-ssl \
        --enable-web

I would exclude the generated files from the src patch:
DIFF_EXCLUDES="chicken-config.h chicken-defaults.h"

This is a mess.
The binary libs are in  /usr/share/gauche/0.8.13/i686-pc-cygwin/*.dll,
they should go to /usr/lib/gauche/0.8.13/
The linux default was almost fine.

The headers from /usr/share/gauche/0.8.13/include/gauche.h
should go to /usr/include/gauche/

The scm libs files:
Well they can stay at /usr/share/gauche/0.8.13/lib
but /usr/lib/gauche/0.8.13/lib would be better

The DLL /usr/bin/libgauche.dll was forced with this name,
so you could have used the better name cyggauche0.dll

> ikarus

Same libgmp issue as with bigloo: libgmp3.
/usr/bin/scheme-script.exe cries for a name clash with other schemes.
Is this really kosher?

> ksi

The si/ksi_sign.c patch is not kosher.
+//#if defined(SIGIO) && !defined(sun)
+//#  define INOUT_BY_SIGIO	1
+//#else
=> /* */ for gcc files. // only for g++ files.

Whow!
collects/setup/variant.ss:
                  [exe (case (system-type)
                         [(windows) "MzScheme.exe"]
-                        [else "mzscheme"])])
+                        [else "mzscheme.exe"])])
doesn't look to good.
(system-type) should return 'cygwin, and the switch should be
[(windows cygwin) "MzScheme.exe"] IMHO.
This can be accepted upstream then with the rest of the src.patch,
which looks fine.

The README contains a typo: "it never makes recurseive call"

This is included in scsh, but having it seperate helps.

libffi-3.0.0-1 was already at my contrib site. This builds OOTB anyway.

Ah, remake again. Good.
I have it as makedb somewhere. remake seems to be the official name now.

I miss ghc ( Glasgow Haskell Compiler ),
slime, ecl, scm ( Scheme in Javascript :)

Can you put the cygport files also somewhere, so I don't have to
download all the sources. Anyway, I did it now.
