<oriansj>fossy: well, not everyone has yet been taught proper IRC manners but they'll learn (or get themselves kicked/banned)
<oriansj>stikonas: yeah, it is good that the Nexus Intruder attack is slowly starting to seep into their collective understanding of the world.
<oriansj>hmmm, what if we could replace kaem build scripts with something a little more general purpose?
<stikonas>oriansj: like what?
<oriansj>I was looking at https://github.com/racket/zuo and wondering how much effort it might take to get mes.c to do something similiar; thus potentially giving us a path to removing autotools
<oriansj>but it is a little bit of a crazy idea
<oriansj>I am pretty sure we could build it with tcc (if the effort of porting looks too hard) but again just an idea to consider
<mcf>i'm having trouble with mescc (`unhandled exception: unbound-variable: (make-parameter)`), but my scheme knowledge is very limited. any idea what's going wrong? full configure and build log is here: https://0x0.st/XzE5.log
<Googulator>oriansj: if replacing kaem & autotools comes at the price of introducing more Lisp-syntax code, then I can't support it - too much risk of deterring future would-be-contributors
<janneke>mcf: it's a terribly cryptic message; you're probably not using nyacc-1.00.2
<mcf>janneke: ah, yeah. i had just installed the latest nyacc (1.09.3)
<janneke>mcf: there will probably be support for newer versions of nyacc, but none of the recent releases are backwards compatible, so that takes some effort
<mcf>i see
<mcf>1.00.2 seems to have fixed it, thanks!
