SCM

2.1: Making SCM

The SCM distribution has Makefile which contains rules for making scmlit, a ``bare-bones'' version of SCM sufficient for running `build.scm'. `build.scm' is used to compile (or create scripts to compile) full featured versions.

Makefiles are not portable to the majority of platforms. If `Makefile' works for you, good; If not, I don't want to hear about it. If you need to compile SCM without build.scm, there are several ways to proceed:

• Use SCM on a different platform to run `build.scm' to create a script to build SCM;
• Use another implementation of Scheme to run `build.scm' to create a script to build SCM;
• Create your own script or `Makefile'.
• Buy a SCM executable from jaffer@ai.mit.edu. See the end of the `ANNOUNCE' file in the distribution for details.
• Use scmconfig (From: bos@scrg.cs.tcd.ie):

  Build and install scripts using GNU autoconf are available from `scmconfig4e3.tar.gz' in the distribution directories. See `README.unix' in `scmconfig4e3.tar.gz' for further instructions.

  Note: The last release of scmconfig (4e3) was on March 20, 1996. I am moving it to the OLD subdirectory until someone submits an update.
