# rapid-gambit

Gambit port of [rapid-scheme](https://www.rapid-scheme.org/).

# Status

It runs some R7RS programs with Gambit interpreter.

About 80 % of R7RS symbols implemented(or stubbed out).

See [Status] page for current status.

# Prerequisites

- Larceny (0.99-) - Required for bootstrap rapid-scheme

 - or, chibi-scheme - Used when Larceny unavailable (slow)

- Gambit (4.x)

- CMake (2.8.1x or 3.x)

Larceny can be Win32 native version even if you build on Cygwin. 

Build script will automagically converts Cygwin path into Win32 path when 

invoke Larceny to bootstrap rapid-scheme. 

Build script will automatically detect chibi-scheme and use it when

Larceny is not available. 

# Build

Since rapid-scheme is written in R7RS and Gambit is R5RS, we will need other 

R7RS to bootstrap. Currently we use Larceny for this purpose.

CMakeLists.txt assumes `rapid-scheme` submodule initialized properly.

```sh

# Initialize submodule first

git submodule update --init

# Create build directory anywhere you want

mkdir _build

cd _build

# Generate Makefile

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/rapid-gambit ../   # Path to this repository

# Build and test

make

make test

# Installation

make install

# Run program

/opt/rapid-gambit/bin/rapid-gambit prog.scm

```

CMakeLists.txt will accept following variables:

- `RAPID_SCHEME_ROOT`    - Path to rapid-scheme root

- `RAPID_GAMBIT_GSI`     - Path to Gambit's `gsi` executable

- `RAPID_GAMBIT_GSC`     - Path to Gambit's `gsc` executable

- `RAPID_GAMBIT_LARCENY` - Path to Larceny executable to bootstrap

# Repository structure

Compiled-in/distributed with rapid-gambit executable:

- `rt`  - Runtime procedures/macros for rapid-scheme

- `r7`  - R7RS procedures

- `src` - Sources for `rapid-gambit` program/frontend support

- `lib` - Standard libraries for `rapid-gambit` in R7RS form

Build support:

- `cmake` - Support scripts written in CMake language

- `build` - Bootstrap/build support scripts

External project:

- `rapid-scheme` - Git submodule of rapid-scheme project

  It can override with `RAPID_SCHEME_ROOT` CMake variable
