Building & Running
After experimenting around with system, Makefiles,
static linking, bundled shared libraries, and interpreted
scripts, I settled on includeing everything in
main.scm and compiling it to a single executable.
First, make sure you have the required eggs:
🥚 chicken-install -s http-client openssl uri-common medea
websockets args 🥚
(The latter two don't do much right now.)
To build the program, you simply need to
csc main.scm -o λℵ and run
./λℵ -h to see the help message, for instance.
However, you'll realise there's nothing in there other than an
ironically unhelpful message about calling --help
and --version. This is because there isn't any
interface for any of the procedures in there so far (see the
status above). So, until I write a proper command line interface
you'll need to load main.scm into csi
and call the procedures manually there. The imported modules
export all the necessary procedures anyway.
