PLT Scheme 3.99 (revision 10030) for the OLPC XO

DrScheme is very, very close to its 4.0 release. I wanted to try out the newest bits on my OLPC XO using one of the nightly builds, but ran into the same problem as I did last time:

/home/olpc/apps/plt-3.99.0.25/bin/mred: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Some folks have resolved this dependency using Mesa for OpenGL emulation, but I found it easier to prepare a build that doesn’t depend OpenGL.
Here is the tarball and the md5sum for a trunk build that I made at revision 10030.
Here is how I did the build:

./configure --prefix=$WORKDIR/$DESTDIR --disable-gl --disable-shared --enable-origtree
make
make install

How to print a PLT Slideshow to a file

Here is how to print a PLT Slideshow to a file:
slideshow -P -c -o [output file] [input file]

  • -P: print to postscript
  • -c: (condense) flatten the output file in the case that you had built slides incrementally

Addendum: 05/17/08
The ‘ps’ argument doesn’t seem to work. I must have used the alternate ‘P’ originally for printing, but posted the other option, ‘ps’. As such, I’ve updated this post. I will look into this. Additionally I’ve changed the condense argument to ‘c’.
