<dfroger_home>Hi, trying to compile guile-2.2.3 from sources, when running 'make', I get the error: Throw to key misc-error with args ("primitive-load-path" "Unable to find file ~S in load path" ("ice-9/boot-9") #f)
<dfroger_home>on debian stretch
<mwette>dfroger_home: hmm ... that tells me the environment is not getting set up somehow. I assume you did not move anything after `configure ...'
<mwette>does the file meta/guile have the right top_builddir in it?
<janneke>hey mwette, would you be interested to join us on #bootstrappable now and then?
<janneke>mescc can now (for a big part thanks to nyacc) build tcc
<mwette>janneke: I will make attempt ...
<dfroger_home>mwette: thanks for the reply, yes top_builddir is correct
<janneke>mwette: great, thanks
<dfroger_home>Building guile-2.2.3 in directory "/home/david/Téléchargements" fails, but in "/home/david/tmp" works. Problem with non-ascii character in paths?
<manumanumanu>anyone here good with goops? Say, if I were to write display as a generic procedure, how do I handle optional arguments like the port argument of display
<manumanumanu>?
<daviid>manumanumanu: you would define 2 methods, one with a single argument, the other with two args
<manumanumanu>haha. I'm stupid
<daviid>manumanumanu: not at all, these 'things' become obvious only after you've played a bit with all this ...
<manumanumanu>I could probably abstract that away with a macro
<daviid>manumanumanu: in this case I don't think it's worth it, but if you really wan't to only have one method with an optional arg, then mark weaver wrote a define-method* that I included in Grip recently, that I should release soon, but in the mean time, you may grab it, here:
