[Chicken-users] How to deploy http-client?

[Vok Vojwo]

I tried to deploy an application which uses http-client, but I get the
following error:

./client: symbol lookup error: /home/.../client/http-client.so:
undefined symbol: C_srfi_2d1_toplevel

What I did so far:

I wrote a simple test program client.scm:

(use http-client)
(pp (with-input-from-request "http://www.google.com/"; #f read-string))

The program works fine, if I run it with: csi -s client.scm

After that I deployed it using the following command:

  $ csc -deploy client.scm

This creates the client directory with the binary and the chicken shared lib.

After that I tied to deploy http-client with all dependencies. For
that I wrote a simple script called chicken-deps to handle the
dependencies:

#! /usr/local/bin/csi -ss

(use irregex)

(define (chicken-deps egg thunk)
  (let incubate ((egg egg))
    (thunk egg)
    (letrec ((metafile (string-append egg "/" egg ".meta"))
             (metadata (read (open-input-file metafile))))
      (for-each
       (lambda (deps)
         (if deps
             (for-each
              incubate
              (map symbol->string
                   (map (lambda (egg)
                          (if (pair? egg) (car egg) egg))
                        (cdr deps))))))
       (list (assoc 'depends metadata)
             (assoc 'needs metadata))))))

(define (main args)
  (let ((cmd (car args))
        (egg (cadr args)))
    (chicken-deps
     egg
     (lambda (egg)
       (system (irregex-replace/all "{}" cmd egg))))))

I used this script to retrieve all eggs necessary for http-client by
this command:

  $ chicken-deps 'chicken-install -r {}' http-client

This results in a download of 20 eggs:

base64
check-errors
defstruct
http-client
intarweb
lookup-table
matchable
md5
message-digest
miscmacros
openssl
record-variants
regex
sendfile
setup-helper
string-utils
synch
uri-common
uri-generic
variable-item

I already installed the eggs in my development repository for csi.

Now I deployed all modules in my client directory with the command:

  $ chicken-install -deploy -p /.../client -t local -l . $egg

After that I have 102 files in the client directory. 60 of them are
shared libs. And when I try to run the client:

  $ ./client

I get the undefined symbol error. So my question:

  What did I wrong? Is it a bug?

I did all the above with 4.7.0 on Red Hat EL 5. I had to specify
ARCH=x86 option during make. Without the option I got an apply-hack
error. GCC is 4.1.2:
