Hi all, I just submitted a bug report on the main racket bug report page; however, I'd like some guidance/assistance as to how to mitigate that problem in the meantime.
Along with the three fine gentlemen CC'd (please CC them in later communications), I am working on a senior-year software development project at Northeastern. The project is essentially a reverse image search. In implementing this, we intend to take advantage of Racket's brand new math library and Typed Racket. We also intend to compile-to-executable the entire project. Mainly because our professor requests that the final product be an executable. The essence of the bug is that a program which depends on `math/matrix' and is compiled-to-executable (`raco exe'), will encounter run-time namespace/dependency problems (i.e. it will fail to run). To our problem: - Can someone provide insight as to the pros and cons of compilation (to executable)? Do we lose a significant amount of performance by not compiling (to executable)? - How does compilation to executable compare to byte-code compilation? - Any ideas as to avoiding this issue in the first place? Forcing the compiler to include the necessary dependency? We have to hand in the project on Friday, so worst case we hand in an executable Racket "script" which uses the JIT. Thanks! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <b...@racket-lang.org> Date: Mon, Mar 25, 2013 at 10:12 PM Subject: Re: [racket-bug] all/13633: The math/matrix library doesn't compile to executable (raco exe) correctly To: dank...@ccs.neu.edu Thank you very much for your problem report.
