NAME
csc — driver program for the CHICKEN Scheme compiler
SYNOPSIS
csc [ OPTION ... ] [ FILENAME ... ]
DESCRIPTION
csc is a program that invokes the CHICKEN compiler and the host systems C compiler to generate an executable from a Scheme source file or C files generated by CHICKEN.
FILENAME is a Scheme source file name with optional extension or a C/C++/Objective-C source, object or library file name with extension. OPTION may be one of the following:

Options to other passes:
-C OPTION
Pass option to C compiler.
-L OPTION
Pass option to linker.
-I <DIR>
Pass “-I <DIR> ” to C compiler (
add include path ).
-L <DIR>
Pass “-L <DIR> ” to linker (
add library path ).
-k
Keep intermediate files.
-c
Stop after compilation to object files.
-t
Stop after translation to C.
-cc COMPILER
Select a C compiler other than the default.
-cxx COMPILER
Select a C++ compiler other than the default.
-ld COMPILER
Select a linker other than the default.
-static
Link with static CHICKEN libraries and extensions.
-F <DIR>
Pass “-F <DIR> ” to C compiler (
add framework header path on Mac OS X ).
-framework NAME
Passed to linker on Mac OS X.
-rpath PATHNAME
Add directory to runtime library search path.
-Wl,...
Pass linker options.
-strip
Strip resulting binary.
Inquiry options:
-home
Show home-directory (
where support files go ).
-cflags
Show required C-compiler flags and exit.
-ldflags
Show required linker flags and exit.
-libs
Show required libraries and exit.
-cc-name
Show name of default C compiler used.
-cxx-name
Show name of default C++ compiler used.
-ld-name
Show name of default linker used.
-dry-run
Just show commands executed, don’t run them (
implies ‘ -v ’ ).
Obscure options:
-debug MODES
Display debugging output for the given modes.
-compiler PATHNAME
Use a compiler other than the default ‘chicken’.
-raw
Do not generate implicit init- and exit code.
-emit-external-prototypes-first
Emit prototypes for callbacks before foreign declarations.
-regenerate-import-libraries
Always emit import libraries, even when their contents haven’t changed. The default behaviour is to preserve existing import libraries.
-ignore-repository
Do not refer to repository for extensions.
-keep-shadowed-macros
Do not remove shadowed macros.
-host
Compile for host when configured for cross-compiling.
-private-repository
Load extensions from executable path.
-deployed
Link support file to be used from a deployed executable (
sets ‘rpath’ accordingly, if supported on this platform. )
-no-elevation
Embed manifest on Windows to supress elevation warnings for programs named ‘install’ or ‘setup’.
Options can be collapsed if unambiguous, so “-vkfO” is the same as “-v -k -fixnum-arithmetic -optimize”.
ENVIRONMENT
The following environment variables change the behaviour of csc :
CSC_OPTIONS
Can hold default options that should be passed to every invocation of csc .
EXIT STATUS
The csc utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
