developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
All library names listed by *.la files no longer need to be listed
in the PLIST, e.g., instead of:
lib/libfoo.a
lib/libfoo.la
lib/libfoo.so
lib/libfoo.so.0
lib/libfoo.so.0.1
one simply needs:
lib/libfoo.la
and bsd.pkg.mk will automatically ensure that the additional library
names are listed in the installed package +CONTENTS file.
Also make LIBTOOLIZE_PLIST default to "yes".

with minor additions (info file handling and resource limit specification
so test target runs on my test platforms).
Many changes since last packaged version, too many to list here.

- csc.in: `-embedded' wasn't recognized
- library.scm: `get-keyword' accepts any object as keys
- runtime.c: `C_callback' doesn't do a minor GC at entry [Thanks to Bruce Hoult]
- `(. ...)' segfaulted instead of giving an error message [Thanks to Category 5]
- `(receive X)' is allowed and returns the list of the result-values
2003-08-17 flw <flw@gurke>
* /cvsroot/chicken/chicken/eval.scm, /cvsroot/chicken/chicken/runtime.c:
- fixed big performance leak in minor GC handling: GC-timing stuff for `time'
macro caused way too many kernel calls [Thanks to Bruce Hoult]
- `dump_trace()' didn't initialize output buffer properly

work when building shared object)
- fixed countless typos in manual.tex [Thanks to Bruce Mitchener]
- `csc' uses `-bundle' instead of `-shared' under Mac OS X

- fixed compiler bug that caused repeated explicit rest-argument list consing
[Thanks to Sven Hartrumpf]

of make when bootstrapping the system from CVS sources

that form

other threads are ready [Thanks to Chris Double]

2003-03-23 njbeckford <njbeckford@ultra.callcc.org>

* /cvsroot/chicken/chicken/Makefile.am:
Undid change that made both MORE_LIBS and MORE_STATIC_LIBS be the same thing.
* /cvsroot/chicken/chicken/Makefile.am:
Made both MORE_LIBS and MORE_STATIC_LIBS be the same thing.
* /cvsroot/chicken/chicken/Makefile.am:
-all-static replaced by -static. On Solaris, need libdl.so and
libnsl.so since no libdl.a nor libnsl.a.
* /cvsroot/chicken/chicken/Makefile.am:
"make doc" and "make testsuites" now use CHICKEN=../chicken
* /cvsroot/chicken/chicken/Makefile.am:
Uses MORE_STATIC_LIBS instead of MORE_LIBS for
lib[xxx_]chicken_la_LDFLAGS so that libtool does not add "-ldl"
whenever something links with lib[xxx-]chicken.la.
* /cvsroot/chicken/chicken/chicken-config.in, /cvsroot/chicken/chicken/configure.in, /cvsroot/chicken/chicken/csc.in, /cvsroot/chicken/chicken/Makefile.am, /cvsroot/chicken/chicken/runtime.c:
configure.in: Made new variable SHLIBS which has -ldl or -ldld, which will only be used in non -all-static code.
Makefile.am: Use SHLIBS to differentiate MORE_LIBS from MORE_STATIC_LIBS.
runtime.c: Do not even try to use dl.h/dlfcn.h/dlopen/shlopen when in all-static mode.
chicken-config.in, csc.in: Use MORE_STATIC_LIBS (%morestaticlibs%) in static mode.
Package changes:
Put documentation in the canonical pkgsrc directories.
Add test target support.
Gmake is not needed anymore.
Things changed in release 1.0:
- Many bugfixes
- Declaration specifier `compress-literals' and compiler-option
`-compress-literals N'
- Chicken now compiles on OpenBSD [Thanks to Steve Elkins]
- `library' unit:
(chicken-version)
- A new version of the portable syntax-case macro system is now used, which
provides `identifier-syntax', `fluid-let-syntax' and `datum->syntax-object',
allows low-level macros (`define-macro') in combination with hygienic
macros and supports the module system used in Chez Scheme (but does not
handle separate compilation)
- The syntax `(define-syntax (name var) ...)' is allowed
- Chicken supports now SRFI-37 officially (A new library unit named `srfi-37'
has been added)
- The old module system has been removed. It was rather hackishly implemented
and didn't integrate well with the highlevel macro system
- The scheduler and the threading system have been massively overhauled
and scale a little better
- The pattern-matcher is now available in combination with the highlevel
macro system, enter `(include "match")' or `(require-for-syntax 'match)'
to make it available
- SRFI-22 script interpreters `scheme-chicken' and `scheme-chicken-hygienic'
have been added
- Compiled `#!' scheme scripts with an invocation line of `csi -script' or
`scheme-chicken'/`scheme-chicken-hygienic' automagically link with all
libraries which would normally be available under the interpreter.
- Type-checks of fixed size objects are slightly more efficient
- Extension-libraries can now be stored alternatively in a directory given
by the CHICKEN_REGISTRY environment variable or in `$HOME/.chicken-registry'
- The new library unit `tcp' provides a PLTish socket interface,
`tcp-accept' and I/O from socket ports do not block other running threads
- The new compiler/interpreter option `-strict-letrec' enables a fully R5RS
compliant expansion of `letrec'
- Chicken should now pass all tests of Scott G. Millers `r5rs_pitfalls.scm'
- Jonah Beckford ported SWIG (<http://www.swig.org>) to Chicken!
Check out a preliminary version at
<http://beckford.netfirms.com/hobbies/swig/>
- On Windows (Cygwin, Mingw32 and MSVC), CHICKEN now supports shared libraries
and dynamic loading. Many thanks to Jonah Beckford for his tremendous work!
Things changed in release 0.1082:
- Bugfixes.
- Support for SRFI's 26 (cut) and 30 (block comments).
- Peter Keller translated the manual into LaTeX. Pdf and html
documentation is available.
- Peter Keller has contributed a comprehensive testing framework
(fully R5RS compliant).
- Declaration specifiers:
export
compile-time-macros-only
- Library unit `extras':
hash-table-remove!
->string
- Library unit `posix':
sleep
- Library unit `lolevel':
pointer-offset
pointer-u8-ref pointer-u8-set!
pointer-s8-ref pointer-s8-set!
pointer-u16-ref pointer-u16-set!
pointer-s16-ref pointer-s16-set!

pointer-s32-ref pointer-s32-set!
pointer-f32-ref pointer-f32-set!
pointer-f64-ref pointer-f64-set!
- Dynamic loading is now supported on older HP-UX systems that
provide `shl_load()' instead of `dlopen()'
(Thanks to Tony Garnock-Jones)
- Error messages have been (slightly) improved.
- A system for simplified packaging, building and installation
of extension-libraries (based on shared libraries) is now provided.
- New data type `locatives' allow to create pointers into arbitrary
sections of various kinds of Scheme data objects.
- So called `locations' simplify passing pointers to local or global
Scheme variables to foreign procedures.
- FFI-generated code is a little bit more compact and efficient.
- Chicken supports alternative keyword syntaxes (CL/DSSSL) via the
compiler/interpreter option `-keyword-style' and the parameter
`keyword-style'
- `define-record-printer' now handles SRFI-9 record types.
- The regex-libraries now allow the creation of precompiled regular
expressions (new procedures `regexp' and `regexp?').
CHICKEN is a Scheme-to-C compiler supporting most of the language
features as defined in the Revised^5 Report on Scheme. CHICKEN
generates quite portable C code, and files compiled by it (including
itself) should work without any changes on most platforms.
The whole package is distributed under a BSD license and as such free
to use and modify as long as you adhere to its terms (see the manual).
Linkage to C modules and C-library functions is straightforward, so
it's easy to access C from Scheme. Compiled code can be embedded into
existing C programs without problems. The generated code supports
full tail-recursion, first-class continuations, multiple values and
dynamic-wind.
