repository-path location

[kristianlm]

When I build with

TARGET_PATH=/system

adb push files, and run

csi -p '(repository-path)'

I get

"/system/lib"

I believe that should read:

"/system/lib/chicken/7"

Because (use data-structures), for example, fails otherwise. Here's a patch that fixes this:

diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile
index c666465..065d576 100644
--- a/Makefile
+++ b/Makefile
@@ -42,7 +42,7 @@ target:

    mkdir -p build/target/$(TARGET_BASEPATH)/lib/chicken/7
    mv build/target/$(TARGET_BASEPATH)/lib/*.import.* build/target/$(TARGET_BASEPATH)/lib/chicken/7/

Perhaps this means the mv command at the end can be dropped? Please note I don't know what I'm doing and the test-cycle is slow!

Thanks for your efforts. The problem with the egg repository for us is ant currently.
Ant assumes all libraries are stored in libs/{ARCH} and have a lib prefix.
Subdirectories or files not in the naming scheme "lib*.so" wont be copied.

This means when building to package it in an APK we currently rely on ant do the correct things.
For compiled code it seems ok to copy them before ant kicks in like it wants it to have and modify
the runtime to look at the correct paths.

For a system wide build this shouldnt make things worse but would behave wrong when packaged.

A longterm solution probably is to get rid of ant where possible or do some repackaging after ant.

Oh yes, I remember this silly limitation. A while back I tricked the Chicken runtime into looking for the .so file with the lib-prefix if it can't find the original file.

Check this out if you haven't implemented something similar already.
