Unbound variable when running make on windows

[Bryan Green]

I am currently trying to get the build to work on windows 7.  I get to the make step, specifically scheme.core and get the following:

make scheme.core

Unbound variable: ##print-marker

Any help/pointers would be appreciated.

I think I worked around that by commenting out:

; (define print-marker
; ##print-marker)

in jazz/lib/jazz.backend.scheme/src/jazz/backend/scheme/runtime/core/reader.scm

But I only built and did not test the result, yet.

Apparently you are using an old version of Gambit (which is a bad idea). ##print-marker is defined in the most recent version.

I am using whatever the process to build jazz pulls?  Not sure how it gets it, will look at that.

That worked.

Marc, it looks like jazz uses gambit-4.6.6.

Great fix Michal!

Indeed Jazz uses a customized version of Gambit 4.6.6 with various additions.

Last week I modified Jazz to be able to work without those additions and so was able to build Jazz using the latest Gambit. Unfortunately, in the 8 months of not using the latest Gambit, it seems that various bugs have been inserted in Gambit (random heap overflow crashes, problems with TCP on Windows). I am waiting on Marc to look at those. Until then we will still need the customized Gambit 4.6.6: https://github.com/jazzscheme/gambit that the ./jam script pulls automatically.
