Hi everybody!
Just a question:
Has anybody ported elk to linux?
Information:
Elk is a scheme interpreter linkable to and extendable by C and C++.
If I understood the README right, elk is meant to be a compatible
and highly portable Language-extension for any existing or future
application perform runtime-configurable tasks.
Elk supports:
- scheme (lisp) interpreter
- runtime loading of module which depends on the a.out-format
(btw: which a.out-format does linux use ? How does it differ from
others ?)
- undump of a fully configured application ? (not severely needed, but
possible!)
- interfacing to X11 Xt Xaw and Motif
Problems:
- the runtime loading of object-files depends on ld (-A option)
which seems to be available and the a.out format which seems
to be a problem.
- direct acces to elements of FILE. It uses the former elements
_cnt and _ptr to throw away the buffers (Discard_Output and
Discard_Input). Linux/gnulib has many more pointers than that.
Actual version of elk seems to be 2.0. Any help and information wanted!
Yours,
prefect
