[plt-scheme] embedding MzScheme with Carbon ?

John,

Actually, that is what you cannot do with Carbon.  A Carbon project cannot link with the .a files that gcc produces.  Any library files intended for Carbon must work with the code fragment manager, and gcc only produces Mach-O files.

But, I took the v103 GC and MzScheme CodeWarrior projects and built them with the Carbon linker pretty handily.  Only a few small changes (turning off TCP, etc.), but nothing substantial.   

So I suspect that either a. there is some additional step needed to embed under Carbon, or b. that the OS 9 settings for the garbage collecter are not viable under Carbon.   I've experimented with many different settings for the GC, but no luck.

I'm investigating my options.  Unless some research turns something up, my first step will be to go back and build a Carbon version of the MzScheme standalone (not embedded), and see if that works.  

Thanks,

Chris

I would strongly suggest using the libraries as built by the included build scripts (make + gcc).  In particular, I would follow the instructions in the Inside PLT MzScheme manual for UNIX platforms; once you've compiled libmzscheme.a and libgc.a, you can specify them as libraries to be linked into your codewarrior project.
