Usage

You need to install each Scheme implementation yourself.

The environment variable SCHEME must be set to the name of the implementation as specified in the support list.

First to compile your libraries run the command without the .scm file.

SCHEME=<implementation name> compile-r7rs -I .

Then run it with the .scm file.

SCHEME=<implementation name> compile-r7rs -I . main.scm

Which produces file called main, which you can run. Note that when given Scheme is interpreter the file contains commands that run the script, and even when the file is combiled binary it might need the compiled libraries.
