SLIB
====
[SLIB] is a portable Scheme library meant to provide compatibility and
utility functions for all standard Scheme implementations. Although
SLIB is not _neccessary_ to run SCM, I strongly suggest you obtain and
install it. Bug reports about running SCM without SLIB have very low
priority. SLIB is available from the same sites as SCM:
* swissnet.ai.mit.edu:/pub/scm/slib3a1.tar.gz
* ftp.gnu.org:/pub/gnu/jacal/slib3a1.tar.gz
* ftp.cs.indiana.edu:/pub/scheme-repository/imp/slib3a1.tar.gz
Unpack SLIB (`tar xzf slib3a1.tar.gz' or `unzip -ao slib3a1.zip') in an
appropriate directory for your system; both `tar' and `unzip' will
create the directory `slib'.
Then create a file `require.scm' in the SCM "implementation-vicinity"
(this is the same directory as where the file `Init5d9.scm' is
installed). `require.scm' should have the contents:
(define (library-vicinity) "/usr/local/lib/slib/")
where the pathname string `/usr/local/lib/slib/' is to be replaced by
the pathname into which you installed SLIB. Absolute pathnames are
recommended here; if you use a relative pathname, SLIB can get confused
when the working directory is changed (*note chmod: I/O-Extensions.).
The way to specify a relative pathname is to append it to the
implementation-vicinity, which is absolute:
(define library-vicinity
(let ((lv (string-append (implementation-vicinity) "../slib/")))
(lambda () lv)))
Alternatively, you can set the (shell) environment variable
`SCHEME_LIBRARY_PATH' to the pathname of the SLIB directory (*note
SCHEME_LIBRARY_PATH: SCM Variables.). If set, the environment variable
overrides `require.scm'. Again, absolute pathnames are recommended.

Making SCM
==========
The SCM distribution has "Makefile" which contains rules for making
"scmlit", a "bare-bones" version of SCM sufficient for running `build'.
`build' 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, there are several ways to proceed:
* Use the build (http://swissnet.ai.mit.edu/~jaffer/buildscm.html)
web page to create custom batch scripts for compiling SCM.
* Use SCM on a different platform to run `build' to create a script
to build SCM;
* Use another implementation of Scheme to run `build' to create a
script to build SCM;
* Create your own script or `Makefile'.
File: scm.info, Node: Editing Scheme Code, Next: Debugging Scheme Code, Prev: SCM Session, Up: Operational Features
Editing Scheme Code
===================
- Function: ed arg1 ...
The value of the environment variable `EDITOR' (or just `ed' if it
isn't defined) is invoked as a command with arguments ARG1 ....
- Function: ed filename
If SCM is compiled under VMS `ed' will invoke the editor with a
single the single argument FILENAME.
Gnu Emacs:
Editing of Scheme code is supported by emacs. Buffers holding
files ending in .scm are automatically put into scheme-mode.
If your Emacs can run a process in a buffer you can use the Emacs
command `M-x run-scheme' with SCM. Otherwise, use the emacs
command `M-x suspend-emacs'; or see "other systems" below.
Epsilon (MS-DOS):
There is lisp (and scheme) mode available by use of the package
`LISP.E'. It offers several different indentation formats. With
this package, buffers holding files ending in `.L', `.LSP', `.S',
and `.SCM' (my modification) are automatically put into lisp-mode.
It is possible to run a process in a buffer under Epsilon. With
Epsilon 5.0 the command line options `-e512 -m0' are neccessary to
manage RAM properly. It has been reported that when compiling SCM
with Turbo C, you need to `#define NOSETBUF' for proper operation
in a process buffer with Epsilon 5.0.
One can also call out to an editor from SCM if RAM is at a
premium; See "under other systems" below.
other systems:
Define the environment variable `EDITOR' to be the name of the
editing program you use. The SCM procedure `(ed arg1 ...)' will
invoke your editor and return to SCM when you exit the editor. The
following definition is convenient:
(define (e) (ed "work.scm") (load "work.scm"))
Typing `(e)' will invoke the editor with the file of interest.
After editing, the modified file will be loaded.

Sparc(SUN-4) heap is growing out of control
You are experiencing a GC problem peculiar to the Sparc. The
problem is that SCM doesn't know how to clear register windows.
Every location which is not reused still gets marked at GC time.
This causes lots of stuff which should be collected to not be.
This will be a problem with any _conservative_ GC until we find
what instruction will clear the register windows. This problem is
exacerbated by using lots of call-with-current-continuations.
