[Chicken-hackers] Misc Help

[Lawrence E. Bakst]

I am a new user. I could use the following help. It mostly revolves around 
needing source code for eggs.

1. What is the correct way to get the source code of a .egg? I can do:
% chicken-setup 9p

which works, but deletes the source code when it is done.

So I try:
% chicken-setup -fetch -download-path ./tmp 9p
to get an egg. Is that the best approach?

2. FYI In chicken-setup the doc says "-download-dir" but the real option is 
"-download-path"

3. When I do:
% chicken-setup -fetch -download-path eggs date-literals

It finds the dependencies for "date-literals" and downloads them but they don't 
go into -download-path.
Is that a bug?

4. I can't get easyffi to compile on  make PLATFORM=macosx ARCH=universal.
See log below:

Has trouble with -lcrt1.10.5.o.

Works on the gcc above the error with -bundle.

Any ideas?

Best,

leb
