[Chicken-users] chicken-install -deploy and unbound variables

[Norman Gray]

Greetings.

Using chicken-install -deploy, to build a simple program with modules, 
fails for me in a rather perplexing way.  Transcript below (Makefile 
output).

The notes at <http://wiki.call-cc.org/man/4/Deployment> only really show 
how to deploy a program with no modules (but including extensions).

I'm broadly following the build procedure that worked in a trivial case 
in <https://bugs.call-cc.org/ticket/1287> (thanks to zbigniew for help, 
there), but there's some further step that's required in order to let it 
work in the presence of modules.

I've tried adding this program's modules as extensions, with and without 
(needs) clauses in the .meta files (do I really need to package modules 
as full eggs in order to deploy them locally?).  There's text in the 
Deployment page above which indicates that I have to install extensions 
before I can deploy them (and I'm now guessing that that applies to 
program-local modules, regarded as extensions, as well), but when I 
consult <http://wiki.call-cc.org/man/4/Extensions> on creating a local 
per-project repository to install them in, I try

    % pwd
    /checkouts/itm/luggage/src
    % /Data/tools/chicken-4.11.0/bin/chicken-install -deploy -prefix 
$PWD/deploy
    Error: (require) cannot load extension: setup-download
    % echo  $CHICKEN_REPOSITORY
    /checkouts/itm/luggage/src/local-repo/lib/chicken/6
    % ls local-repo/lib/chicken/6
    % chicken-install -init $CHICKEN_REPOSITORY
    Error: (require) cannot load extension: setup-download
    % chicken-install -p local-repo
    Error: (require) cannot load extension: setup-download

The only similar unbound variable error I can find is mentioned in 
<https://bugs.call-cc.org/ticket/570>, but that's six years old.

I am now completely stuck: I appear to have read all of the 
documentation, read chunks of the csc source code, googled my way 
through bugs.call-cc.org, but still can't get a simple program to 
deploy, much less compile to *.c.  Am I doing something incredibly 
stupid here?

I'm aware that there is a new CHICKEN build framework in preparation for 
CHICKEN 5 -- is that in a state where I could try playing with it?

Best wishes,

Norman

Further details below:

The same code builds happily in a 'non-deploy' mode, with:

/Data/tools/chicken-4.11.0/bin/csc -shared -o util.so 
-emit-all-import-libraries util.scm
/Data/tools/chicken-4.11.0/bin/csc -shared util.import.scm
/Data/tools/chicken-4.11.0/bin/csc -shared -o static-content.so 
-emit-all-import-libraries static-content.scm

/Data/tools/chicken-4.11.0/bin/csc -shared -o datetime.so 
-emit-all-import-libraries datetime.scm
/Data/tools/chicken-4.11.0/bin/csc -shared datetime.import.scm
/Data/tools/chicken-4.11.0/bin/csc -shared -o db.so 
-emit-all-import-libraries db.scm

Warning: imported identifier doesn't exist in module chicken: 
dynamic-wind
/Data/tools/chicken-4.11.0/bin/csc -shared db.import.scm
/Data/tools/chicken-4.11.0/bin/csc -shared -o server.so 
-emit-all-import-libraries server.scm

Warning: imported identifier doesn't exist in module chicken: 
dynamic-wind
/Data/tools/chicken-4.11.0/bin/csc -shared server.import.scm
/Data/tools/chicken-4.11.0/bin/csc -o luggage main.scm -extend util 
-extend static-content -extend datetime -extend db -extend server

% make check
....
% ...all OK

That is, the code does appear to have all its dependencies declared and 
passes all its unit tests.

I've despairingly given up trying to compile to separately-buildable *.c 
files; I would quite like to get this deployment technique working, but 
am on the point of giving up with this, too.

The modules util, static-content, datetime, db and server are all 
modules sitting beside a main program in luggage.scm.  As you can see, 
util and static-content are apparently built and deployed into 
$PWD/deploy/, but the build of server complains about an unbound 
variable  named
