Arch Linux User Repository

@thepuzzlemaker sorry for the long time to reply, life happened; slowly getting back on top of things. It does seem that letting downstream users deal with things and using --libkernel is the more common way of doing it. I am happy to revert to not having --kernelobj as part of the configuration. Unless there are any strong opposition to this within the next ~2 weeks, i.e. before 2026-09-12 12:00:00 UTC+1, I'll go ahead and update the PKGBUILD to revert --kernelobj back to --libkernel

And if there is anything to be done re: the lto/fat-lto stuff, please let me know. I couldn't seem to find anything in the Chez Scheme building documentation or the configure script.

Hey there! I'm working on a program that uses Chez Scheme, written in Rust (which, at least on my configuration, by default uses ld.lld) and I'm having problems with this package due to the use of --kernelobj. The issue is that kernel.o is built with GCC LTO, which is (currently) impossible to link using ld.lld.

There are a few options I see towards solving this, in decreasing order of my preference:

1. Use --libkernel and let downstream users deal with linking with a static library rather than just an object file. Looking at a few other package repositories (Debian, Fedora, NixOS) I find that using --kernelobj is quite nonstandard, so many downstream users would already expect a libkernel.a, I would think. EDIT: This would also require disabling LTO or fat LTO objects, but would still be more standard in my opinion.

2. Enable -ffat-lto-objects: ./configure [...] CFLAGS+=-ffat-lto-objects

3. Disable LTO entirely: options=(!lto) in the PKGBUILD

@williewillus Thanks for the heads up. I'm double-checking on my end, but so far it indeed seems to be building without any issue. I'll push the new version when the build has completed.

10.3.0 came out a couple weeks ago, looks like substituting 10.3.0 into the PKGBUILD and running ./build works fine.

@envolution done, and updated to 10.2.0.

@Ponas could you please try rebuilding with 10.2.0? Afaict, this is a combination of gcc15 adding further checks and chez-scheme building with -Werror by default. The 10.2.0 release seems to have adjusted/fixed the offending code. Alternatively, if you must use 10.1.0, you can stop gcc treating that warning as an error by appending CFLAGS+='-Wno-error=incompatible-pointer-types' to the configure invocation in the PKGBUILD and retrying the build.

@ecraven apologies for taking so long to get around to this, --kernelobj is being used for 10.2.0.

can you please remove 'replaces chez-scheme-git' as per https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_submission_guidelines - 1.1

it has also been updated: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/chez-scheme-git

@maoif Thanks for raising this. Should be updated now.

@ecraven That definitely sounds like it would be good to have. It seems like it should be on by default (https://github.com/cisco/ChezScheme/commit/be33b28cff859ec3580a0435f4622c0218d70a38) ? Unless I am missing something. If turns out it is no longer on by default, so long as nobody else has any objections — I'll wait ~2 weeks and see — I'll update the PKGBUILD and revision.

Could you be persuaded to add --kernelobj to the ./configure line? This would also build several additional files that won't hurt, but are necessary to use https://github.com/gwatt/chez-exe (which is great for creating stand-alone executables with chez).
