WISHLIST: openmcl-1.0: Cocoa Interface Request

Description

It would be nice if some of the common libraries for OpenMCL could be built by default, so a regular user could use them after install, rather than having to run OpenMCL as root (or sudo).

Example, the Cocoa module will not work for a regular user after a stock OpenMCL port install because the user does not have sufficient permissions to compile the forms into the ${prefix}/share/openmcl file system.

I would recommend invoking a (require 'Cocoa) from a shell session of OpenMCL so that a new user would be able to try out Hemlock, Bosco, and other Mac-based frameworks without having to re-run OpenMCL as root.

HI Brent,

I'll take a look.

With regard to the (require 'Cocoa), are you suggesting that this be executed by the openmcl wrapper script?

Maybe the best way is to build a cocoa variant. I'll think about that. Suggestions wlecomed!

Best Wishes, Greg

No -- I would like the hemlock files to be compiled as part of the install, so the first time you do a (require "cocoa) you don't have to wait for the compile.

I don't know if Waqar will have the time to look at this, so I'll reassign it to myself.

Brent,

asdf-install patch is committed. Thanks!

Can I close this bug (so that further Cocoa patches are separate RFEs), or should I keep it open?

It's been awhile so I'm closing this. If someone does want it open just re-open it but modify the summary to reflect the purpose of the bug at this point in time.
