CHICKEN-INSTALL(1) General Commands Manual CHICKEN-INSTALL(1) NAME chicken-install -- download and install extension libraries for CHICKEN Scheme SYNOPSIS chicken-install [OPTION ...] [NAME[:VERSION] ...] DESCRIPTION chicken-install downloads, compiles and installs a prepackaged extension library from sources. If no extension name is given on the command line, then any existing egg descriptions in the current directory will be exe- cuted in unspecified order. The program accepts following arguments: -h, -help Show usage and exit. -version Show version and exit. -v, -verbose Print extra information during installation. -force Install without confirmation, even if versions don't match. -k, -keep Keep temporary files. -s, -sudo Use an external program to elevate privileges for filesystem opera- tions. The program defaults to sudo(8) but can be overridden with the SUDO environment variable. -r, -retrieve Just retrieve the egg, don't install it (giving -r more than once implies -recursive). -recursive If -retrieve is given, also fetch dependencies recursively. -dry-run Do not build or install, just print the locations of the generated build & install scripts. -list-versions List available versions for the given eggs. -purge Remove cached files for given eggs (or purge cache completely). -host When cross-compiling, only compile extensions for host. -target When cross-compiling, only compile extensions for target. -test Run included test cases, if available. -n, -no-install Do not install the egg, just build it. -no-install-dependencies Do not install dependencies. Note that this option may result in build failures due to missing extension libraries. -u, -update-db Update export database. -repository Print path used for egg installation. -override filename Override versions for installed eggs with information from filename. -from-list filename Install eggs listed in filename, which has the same format as chicken-status(1)'s -list output. This option may be given multiple times. -cached Only install eggs from cache, do not download. -l, -location directory Get egg sources from the given directory. May be provided multiple times. Locations specified on the command line have precedence over the ones specified in setup.defaults. -feature, -D name Register feature name, usable as a condition in cond-expand clauses. ENVIRONMENT Following environment variables change the behaviour of chicken-install: CHICKEN_EGG_CACHE Location where eggs are retrieved and built. CHICKEN_INSTALL_PREFIX The path prefix for all target files, as given when building the system. Use this variable to override where programs, include files and ad- ditional data files shall be intalled. CHICKEN_INSTALL_REPOSITORY The path where extension libraries are in- stalled. Defaults to the package library path selected during configuration (usually $prefix/lib/chicken/<binary-version>). Note that this variable takes precedence to CHICKEN_INSTALL_PREFIX. SUDO The command to execute when using -s flag in command. If not provided, defaults to sudo(8). FILES $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/chicken/setup.defaults User specific setup.defaults file. ( $XDG_CONFIG_HOME defaults to $HOME/.config ) $prefix/share/chicken/setup.default System-wide setup.defaults file. $XDG_CACHE_HOME/chicken-install/ Default directory for cached eggs. ( $XDG_CACHE_HOME defaults to $HOME/.cache ) EXIT STATUS The chicken-install utility exits 0 on success, 2 if the user aborted an operation, 3 if it was invoked with no explicitly given egg names and no *.egg files could be found in the current directory, and >0 if any other error occurs. EXAMPLES Install `regex' egg as root user: # chicken-install regex Install an egg as an normal user but using sudo(8): $ chicken-install -s regex Install an egg as an normal user but elevating privileges with different program, such as OpenBSD doas(1): $ SUDO=/usr/bin/doas chicken-install -s regex SEE ALSO chicken(1), chicken-status(1), chicken-uninstall(1), csc(1) More information can be found in the CHICKEN User's Manual.
