Re: [MIT-Scheme-devel] generating shared libraries for subsystems

[Taylor R Campbell]

After further examination of LIAR's C output, I generated a working
edwin.dylib pretty easily.  Following microcode/compinit.{c,h}, I
wrote a similar edwin.c that defined dload_initialize_file instead of
initialize_compiled_blocks, and used microcode/make-compinit to
generate edwin.h.  Then I compiled edwin/*.c for static linking as
with all the statically linked sources in the runtime and compiler,
and linked edwin/*.o as with LINK_MODULE edwin.dylib as a module.
Putting edwin.dylib in lib/shared/ made lib/edwin.com work.

Automating this process shouldn't be difficult, and with it we can
finally have `make install' and bands with shared libraries work
usefully.
