13:11 askhader: Does anyone have a clue as to when we can expect to see racket in the ubuntu package management system?
13:23 chandler: In a stable release? Octoberish, I'd imagine.
13:26 (join) jonrafkind
13:34 askhader: Alright.
13:34 chandler: Feel free to create a racket PPA if someone hasn't done so already
13:39 askhader: I was thinking about manually (as in non-debly) installing racket but I wanted to check to make sure a .deb wouldn't be released anytime soon

19:13 derrida: i am not having much luck compiling racket on x86_64 linux. running into an archaic gcc error related to xforms towards the end (i think) of the build.
19:15 derrida: i'm using the racket-5.0-src-unix.tgz, i think it happens during racketgc, going to run it again now
19:15 jonrafkind: whats the error
19:16 derrida: i do `./configure --enable-shared` and then `make`
19:16 derrida: (waiting for the make to fail)
19:17 derrida: i started from a fresh src from the archive
19:19 derrida: still on xforms
19:21 derrida: i don't believe this ...
19:34 derrida: sorry, ok, disabling gracket seems to let me build uneventfully
19:34 derrida: sorry for the dramatic delay :D
19:34 jonrafkind: ok, do you think you might want gracket?
19:35 jonrafkind: which includes drracket
19:35 derrida: well, i want mred
19:35 derrida: i would prefer to use emacs
19:37 derrida: i'm psyched this built though, excited to check out racket, i've been using common lisp for a bit
20:08 (quit) masm: Quit: Leaving.
20:49 eli: derrida: Did you try our build?
21:29 derrida: i managed to get everything built actually
21:30 derrida: i tried ./configure --disable-jpeg --disable-png --enable-shared
21:30 derrida: and that seemed to do the trick :D
21:38 eli: derrida: You mean --disable-libjpeg etc?
21:39 eli: Also, is there any specific reason you want to use shared libraries?
22:47 derrida: eli: yes, sorry. (re: lib{jpeg,png})
22:49 derrida: eli: --enable-shared was a remainder of earlier trial and errors, i don't have any specific reason. probably could get rid of that too.
22:50 eli: derrida: Getting rid of it will likely make things easier.
22:51 derrida: the more i learn about the dynamic linker the less i understand ;)
22:52 derrida: will --disable-lib{png,jpeg} have negative implication on my resulting binaries?
22:52 eli: I don't think so, IIUC, it uses the ones that comes with our sources in that case.
22:52 eli: And we don't use shared libraries for our build since it doesn't seem like it would make much difference.
22:53 eli: Specifically, our linux builds don't use it, so it tends to be more robust.

23:18 derrida: ok great, that sounds like what i want
23:18 derrida: it's recompiling now
23:18 derrida: is there a mode for working in emacs?
23:32 eli: derrida: Just use scheme mode.
23:32 eli: No specific racket mode yet.
23:33 eli: And I know very initimately the PLT person who is most likely to write an Emacs mode, and he'll probably never get to do it...
23:33 derrida: :P
23:35 eli: Well, maybe I will...  Depends on how much racket evolves in a way that makes scheme-mode annoying enough.
