[Chicken-users] Geiser now has Chicken 5 Support

[Dan Leslie]

Fresh on ELPA: Chicken 5 support in Geiser. Geiser is an enhanced Emacs mode for interacting with various Schemes.

Completion suggestions, eldoc support, region and buffer evaluation, and symbol evaluation all appear to work well; most are considerably faster thanks to some reworking of their behaviour. Geiser's features with respect to switching modules and module namespaces are not available to Chicken 5, yet; I opted to withold porting those forward for now as that behaviour relied upon ## internal behaviour to operate under Chicken 4, and was rather brittle.

If you use use-package installation is easy:
(use-package geiser)

You'll need a few additional packages for Chicken:
chicken-install srfi-1 srfi-18 apropos

I strongly recommend using Geiser in companion with dumb-jump; I added Scheme support to it some time ago, and so it now provides a reasonably good jump-to-definition and find-references for Scheme projects of most any size.

Happy hacking!

Hi,

Thanks for the update. I am however, getting "Symbol's function definition
is void: equalp" on a fresh install of Chicken 5 and emacs
for both Linux and OpenBSD. apropos, srfi-1 & srfi-18 are all installed.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you.
Regards,
David

That'd be a missing elisp method; it's used in the version check.

What version of emacs are you using?

`equalp` is from cl.el, so unless you've loaded it up, it won't be
defined. This is therefore most likely an oversight in the code. That
being said, `equalp` is very close to `equal`, so if you can, use that
instead.

It should be fixed as of this AM.
