ScmPkg Support

STklos supports the ScmPkg source packaging system. This system allows to blend packages written for different Scheme dialects altogether in a STklos application.

To install a ScmPkg package, you need first to synchronize with ScmPkg servers. This can be done with:

$ stklos-pkg --sync

When this is done, the list of all the packages which can be installed is available with the command

$ stklos-pkg --list

To install the package P you only need to type

$ stklos-pkg --install P

This command will

• download P (and all its dependencies)
• configure, adapt and compile the package
• install the package in the user home directory (use the --system-wide for a system wide installation)

For more informations on the command stklos-pkg, enter:

$ stklos-pkg --help

The following table lists some of main packages which are portable amongst systems which support ScmPkg, even if they use some dialect idiosyncrasies.

ScmPkg was built to permit the integration of packages written in various Scheme dialects. However, packages which are really STklos specific (because they use traits which are only available in STklos) are distributed on this site only. Note that these packages are available as "standard" ScmPkg packages and that the stklos-pkg command can be used to deal with them.

For now, the STklos specific packages are
