Bug#1065597: racket: Inclusion of mzdyn.o in the binary package

Show all headers | View raw

Package: racket
Version: 8.10+dfsg1-2
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

We are updating the Debian package for SWIG (a generator of scripting 
interfaces to C/C++ code), in order to include support for 
MzScheme/Racket.

However, it does not work because the file mzdyn.o is needed and 
cannot be found anywhere. Indeed, this file is mentioned in the Racket 
documentation.[*]

The SWIG's configure script try to find the path for that file by 
running this command:

    mzscheme --eval '(begin (require dynext/link) (with-handlers (((lambda args #t) (lambda args #f))) (for-each (lambda (x) (printf "~a" x)) (expand-for-link-variant (current-standard-link-libraries)))))'

which yields:

    /usr/lib/racket/mzdyn.o

Subsequently, the activation of the MzScheme support fails because this 
path does not exist.

I see that, in the source for the Debian package racket, there is a 
file src/bc/dynsrc/mzdyn.c, that could be compiled into mzdyn.o and 
installed in /usr/lib/racket/.

Do you think that this would be possible?

Best,

Rafael Laboissière
