Commander S
===========
* Requirements
Before installing Commander S, you need to install the following
software:
- The current CVS version of scsh, the Scheme Shell. The latest
release, version 0.6.6, contains two small bugs that prevent
Commander S from running correctly. Alternativly, you may apply
the patches listed in the last section of this README to your scsh
0.6.6 source tree.
(From <http://www.scsh.net>)
- Version 1.2.0 of install-lib, the scsh installation library
(From <http://lamp.epfl.ch/~schinz/scsh_packages/scsh-install-lib-1.2.0.tar.gz>)
- Version 1.0 of scsh-ncurses, the scsh bindings for ncurses
(From <ftp://ftp.scsh.net/pub/scsh/packages/scsh-ncurses/scsh-ncurses-1.0.tar.gz>)
- Version 0.8 of Sunterlib, the Scheme Untergrund library (NOT
RELEASED YET)
(From <http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/sunterlib/sunterlib-0.8.tar.gz>)
* Installation
Run the script install.scm from the top of the tarball:
./install.scm
The only important option is --prefix to specify a directory where
files are installed. Use the --help options to see all possible
options.
* Patches for scsh
The following patches fix two little bugs in the scsh source tree
found during the development of Commander S.
