Re: [ITP] chicken-4.9.0.1

Dear List,

I am a core developer of the CHICKEN scheme system. We have supported
building and running CHICKEN on cygwin for almost a decade now. However
I noticed that the current cygwin package has been outdated for years.

As the previous maintainer is missing from at least 2011...

The current version that's listed is 3.4.0-0 which has been discontinued
since 2006(?)...

So I'd like to propose an update of said package to the current stable
version as noted in the subject.

so it is a ITA (joking with our acronym style)

CHICKEN scheme has been packages in SuSe, Redhat and Debian for quite a
while. As an example have a look at

http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/fedora/devel/rawhide/i386/c/chicken-4.9.0.1-2.fc22.i686.html

I have generated a new port with the following cygport file:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# package name
NAME="chicken"
VERSION=4.9.0.1
RELEASE=1

# setup.hint generation
CATEGORY="interpreters"
SUMMARY="A practical and portable scheme system."
DESCRIPTION="A practical and portable scheme system.
CHICKEN is a compiler for the Scheme programming language. CHICKEN
produces portable and efficient C, supports almost all of the R5RS
Scheme language standard, and includes many enhancements and
extensions."

REQUIRES="make gcc-core gcc-g++"

# source and patch files
SRC_URI="http://code.call-cc.org/releases/${PV}/${P}.tar.gz";
MAKEOPTS="PLATFORM=cygwin"


src_compile() {
         cd ${S}
	cygmake
}

src_install() {
	cd ${S}
	cygmake install
}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The CHICKEN build system uses make only and builds in the source
directory. The platform has to be passed on as shown above.

As I only have access to a 32bit Windows Version (7) atm I am unable to
test this for 64-bit builds.

I guess you need use apply-hack.x86-64.S for 64bit.
How is it  managed on Linux ?

Time to move to a minimal config system upstream ?

In case you want to have a look at the generated packages, you can find
them here in the usual directory layout here:

Kind regards,
