Chicken Scheme

for any schemers out there:

heres the PKGBUILD for chicken scheme

pkgname=chicken
pkgver=1.56
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Scheme Compiler"
depends=('glibc')
url='http://www.call-with-current-continuation.org'
source=(http://www.call-with-current-continuation.org/chicken-$pkgver.tar.gz chicken.sh)
md5sums=(53b81a6d354ee6fc156fea8b8d46bc95 dd0681bcffabea6f2fe629ad6502bf27)

build() {
        cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
        ./configure --prefix=/opt/chicken
        make || return 1
        make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
        mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/etc/profile.d
        cp $startdir/src/chicken.sh $startdir/pkg/etc/profile.d
        chmod 755 $startdir/pkg/etc/profile.d/chicken.sh
}

you'll need this the chicken.sh file i made:

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/chicken/bin

its a pretty nice compiler if you used the right settings.  you might also want to use chicken-setup to install some of the extra packages like ncurses.
