11:21 <Viking667> okay, very quick question. I don't see a "make clean" (to remove compiled output and restore to original source tree). Is that deliberate, or just simply never implemented?

11:21 <Viking667> The reason I'm asking is that I installed 8.10 from a source tarball, but wanted to clear out everything but the original source.

11:23 <bremner> hrm. Let me see what the debian packages do to clean up

11:24 <bremner> hmm. it seems like everything is inside ./build for me?

11:25 <bremner> but yeah, looks like the upstream build does not do a good job of cleaning up

11:26 <bremner> Viking667: how about "git clean -fdx", does that get you back to pristine state?

11:26 <bremner> might need a "git reset --hard" as well.

11:32 <Viking667> I guess that'd work if I'd pulled it from git to start with. I didn't.

11:32 <Viking667> "... I installed 8.10 from a source tarball..."

11:33 <Viking667> Ah. If it's all encapsulated in build/ then that makes it easier to remove. Now - as for another problem? That compile doesn't have any way to produce a libmzscheme.a (or a .so). How's that being done these days, if at all?

11:36 <Viking667> For the others here, the context is to build the mzscheme support for the vim editor, which looks for that library, and if it doesn't find that file, it won't compile in support for using mzscheme.

11:39 <bremner> you might need to build "racket bc" for mzscheme support, I'm not sure

11:39 <Viking667> hrm, someone mentioned that.

11:39 <bremner> https://docs.racket-lang.org/inside/embedding.html

11:40 <bremner> that link looks a bit deep for "I just wanna build vim"

11:42 <Viking667> That was what I was thinking.

11:43 <Viking667> And I'm not seeing ANY reference to lib*.so or lib*.a

11:43 <Viking667> (in the installed stuff)

11:56 <Viking667> Anyhow, I'll hop off for now, it's not going to get solved tonight at least.

11:57 <bremner> Viking667: the racket discourse instance seems to be the best place to reach racket developers

11:57 <bremner> well, the best place that isn't (shudder) discord or similar

11:58 <Viking667> discourse? I don't think I've ever used that.

11:58 <bremner> https://racket.discourse.group

11:58 <bremner> can be used as mailing list once you sign up

12:06 <Viking667> Huh. Okay.

12:55 <Viking667> good morftervenight all.
