I have a command-line application that I have been compiling with Racket 5.3.3 as follows:
raco exe client.rkt raco distribute client-dist client This creates a client-dist directory that I can then use to distribute my work to other machines running the same operating system. Up until this point I have been doing this on Mac OS X with no trouble. Now I am trying to replicate this process on a Linux machine. I run the same steps on a Linux box and have what appears to be the same client-dist directory. The difference, is that for some reason the version compiled on Linux does not work! That is to say, the binary in client-dist/bin does not function (even on the original machine that it was compiled on) in the same way as the binary that resulted from `raco exe client.rkt`. Specifically, it seems as if the executable thinks that it is getting more command-line arguments than it is. I modified my code to print all of the command-line arguments in hopes of getting some insight into this and get this: $ /tmp/client-dist/bin/client "test" client: expects no arguments on the command line, given 3 arguments: "test" I suspect that whatever those 2 invisible arguments are is causing me trouble, but I can't for the life of me figure out where they are coming from. In case it is relevant, I am using the functional-command package from PLaneT for command-line parsing. Any ideas? best, Dominick ____________________ Racket Users list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/users
