Re: [Chicken-hackers] C lost -D on chicken-install

[Jörg F . Wittenberger]

I'm not sure this will do the trick.

it the environment variable CSC_OPTIONS added to the options given in the 
.egg file or does it overwrite them?

The former would count as a workaround, the latter not help in my case at 
all.


The use case of the -D switch, which I need first and foremost to support 
is code instrumentation. There are lots of yocto build recipes which 
compile differently when -Ddebug is given.

Peter is right: this makes determining the freshness of files harder. (In 
the case of yocto the bitbrake program can take care of that one. Chicken 
could mimic the trick. But that's certainly beyond chicken 5.0)

BTW: C5 is easily troubled if there are *.import.scm files from C4 in the 
same directory. The resulting error messages are horror. They compile but 
upon import we get something like "eval not avail".
