[Larceny-users] problem with system-wide installl

[Patrick Pippen]

Good Afternoon,

I have just built larceny-0.97 from source using a larceny binary and
nasm on Debian Linux. The problem that I ran into now is that after
building all four steps larceny is not installed system wide for
regular users. I would prefer it to go into /usr/local.

So how do I get larceny to install itself within this directory I
tried make install.

make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.

How can I resolve this issue of mine

Hi Patrick,

I think all you have to do now, assuming the build process worked, is copy
the larceny script from the build directory to somewhere in the default path
for regular users (e.g. /usr/local/bin). Then there should be a line near
the top of the script that is commented out that specifies the LARCENY_ROOT
directory, uncomment this line and make sure it is pointing to the build
directory, which you can drop in /usr/local or /usr/local/lib if you want.
At this point larceny should be installed, you may want to do the same thing
with the scheme-script script as well.

Hope that helped,
Jed
