Dear All,
For reasons (explained below, possibly foolish reasons) I am trying to do the
following:
1. Have `raco pkg install` install a package X to a specific directory,
including, in the same directory, all of the dependencies of X, but excluding
those dependencies that are already present in the current installation's
collections; and
2. Have `raco exe myprok.rkt` look in that custom directory for `(require X)`?
I tried the `--scope-dir` option to `raco pkg install` but that installed what
looks like the entire racket standard library (see below).
Many thanks,
James
PS. What I'm /really/ trying to do is distribute a little command-line
programme that I wrote in Racket to my colleagues using the homebrew package
manager. My programme depends on the gregor library.
Most of my colleagues don't have Racket. Homebrew likes to compile from source,
so I will need to have homebrew download the dependencies I need for
compilation. But now, homebrew really doesn't like you to write outside a very
small set of directories during the installation process, and those don't
appear to include the standard Racket collections directories.
(I could well have misunderstood this. I don't understand at all how homebrew
interacts with language-specific package managers like raco, pip, cabal, and so
on. My sense is that the non-raco ones install dependencies in project-specific
directories and I suspect homebrew has specific support for Python libraries.)
Anyway, my program depends on the gregor library, so I tried this:
$ raco pkg install --scope-dir tmp gregor-lib
$ ls tmp
2d-lib pict-doc
at-exp-lib pict-lib
base pict-snip-lib
cext-lib pkgs.rktd
class-iop-lib plai-lib
cldr-bcp47 planet-doc
