William, Stephen,
Thank you for your help. It seems that what I want to do is not an
appropriate use of the prepackaged source, and I am now progressing
using a git clone.
Thanks again,
Tim

I always forget the build process when I'm hacking on Racket too and have to
glare at the INSTALL file
for a while.
Maybe the INSTALL file has too much detail, or the wrong details, and the
instructions get lost in it?
I always build a minimal install via `make PKGS=base in-place` from the
top-level directory of the Racket
repo, then install everything else via `raco pkg install`.
Binaries, including raco, end up in `racket/racket/bin`.

Here's hoping someone can answer this without too much (any) difficulty:
I have the Unix source in racket-6.6-src.tgz from the download page.
It's untarred into racket-6.6 . I want this because it has a superset
of the packages I'll eventually want in my installation.
If I:
configure
make
make plain-install
I don't get a raco executable built.
On IRC, it was suggested that I do a `make base` -- which should get me
a raco capabale of pkg and setup. Problem is -- I can't find base as a
target.
It was also suggested that it is not in src/Makefile, instead:
"I'm usually in the top-level checkout dir", to quote stamourv.
A git clone later and I *still* don't have base in any makefile.
Folks... how do I either make base or get as minimal a racket
installation as I can with a capable raco?
Thanks in anticipation,
Tim
