Notes On LambdaNative

Looking into Scheme, I found out about a project called LambdaNative.

It lets you write an app in Scheme, and compile it into a phone app (Android, iClone, Blackberry) or a desktop app (Linux, Windows, OSX, BSD).

I downloaded it to my Linux laptop, and I was able to compile an Android app. I think I also got it working for the desktop. I took some notes as I was going along, partially because I had to install some packages along the way to get it to work. The wiki for LambdaNative was not as helpful as it should be.

I am not too sure if I got the Windows app to work or not. This is just here for my own reference.

Install Android NDK
Edit SETUP
Keep trying "make"
install autoconf as root: apt-get install autoconf
Next:
xelatex environment is not complete. Consider installing necessary XeTeX packages
apt-get install texlive-xetex

No OpenGL headers, so I tried this:
apt-get install freeglut3-dev

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lasound
 apt-get install libasound2-dev

ERROR: required tool ant not found

add ant

./configure Calculator android
make

./configure Calculator
make

For windows:
aptitude install mingw-w64

as root:
in /usr/bin:
ln -s cpp-4.9 c89-cpp



It puts the file in:  /home/ericm/.cache/lambdanative/packages/Calculator-1.0-android.apk
