Re: [Chicken-hackers] TinyCLOS 'examples' install path?

[Ivan Raikov]

  I was wrong about that, the value of CHICKEN_REPOSITORY is accessed
through the parameter repository-path, and the -R option works as
expected. But if -destdir is specified, then the repository becomes
{destdir}/lib/chicken. -destdir always overrides the repository path,
hence the confusion. I propose eliminating -destdir, and introducing
option -install-prefix, which is prepended to the repository path and
any data files being installed with copy-file. Something along the
lines of this:

$ chicken-setup -R
/var/lib/chicken/3

$ chicken-setup tinyclos => 
files installed in /var/lib/chicken/3

$ chicken-setup -R /usr/lib/chicken tinyclos => 
files installed in /usr/lib/chicken/3. 

$ chicken-setup -install-prefix $HOME/gentoo/tinyclos => 
files installed in $HOME/gentoo/tinyclos/var/lib/chicken/3

$ chicken-setup -R /usr/lib/chicken \
  -install-prefix $HOME/gentoo/tinyclos => 
files installed in $HOME/gentoo/tinyclos/usr/lib/chicken/3
