The problem is that Chez Scheme can't really be used in this form. For example, I want to install akku to install some srfi libraries. But, akku needs to know where the lib directory is so that libraries land in the right place. Where is that place for this build of Chez Scheme.
The workarea is set by the configure script when it creates the top-level Makefile from Makefile.in:
Typically it is the Chez machine type you are building for, e.g. ta6le. (This keeps things from getting horribly messy when bootstrapping, cross-compiling, etc.) The make-level interface for the build system is almost exactly the same as with upstream Chez: the implementation using Zuo primarily makes it work more reliably.
I suggested make run as a quick way to get to a running Chez, but it's probably not what you want if you just want to use Chez, rather than develop it. For normal purposes, you would probably instead want to do:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local # or /opt/chez or ~/chez or ...
make
make install
Makes sense.
I did uninstall everything so I can try again.
Thanks
