Trying out raco demod

Questions & Answers
1

Hi

Thought I’d try out raco demod but I’ve run into a little roadblock

I’ve got a nice little module cli-command/hello.rkt at master · racket-templates/cli-command · GitHub

I ran raco demod -o hellod -g hello.rkt and it made hellod with no problems.

Then I ran raco exe -o hellodemod hellod to make my executable.

Sadly this fails with missing submodule declaration: ‘configure-runtime .

Would appreciate any guidance and/or pointers to the manual.

Best regards

The error is due to a bug in raco demod, and I've pushed a repair.

Thanks for the report!

Thank you.

A quick update to Racket and I am in action:

raco demod -o hellod -g hello.rkt - OK
raco exe -o hellodemod hellod - OK
raco exe -o hello hello.rkt - for comparison

ls -al:

-rwxr-xr-x  1 stephendegabrielle  staff  5995474 13 Oct 19:37 hello
-rwxr-xr-x  1 stephendegabrielle  staff   133719 13 Oct 19:31 hellodemod

Wow-wee! that is quite a difference in file size!

Lets try it out:

% time ./hello
hello world
./hello  0.09s user 0.03s system 88% cpu 0.135 total
% time ./hellodemod 
hello world
./hellodemod  0.04s user 0.03s system 89% cpu 0.075 total

I won't pretend to have bothered to look up what time shows me, I just know smaller=better.
