@tck42, I have updated the PKGBUILD for the new release 0.18.2. Let me know if you are seeing issues.

No worries. I'm glad we were able to get the PKGBUILD updated.

Thank you @cvnb and sorry for the delay in updating. I've updated to your PKGBUILD and added you as a co-maintainer as well for future updates.

@necaris, gerbil-scheme have a new release v0.18 released yesterday.

Note there are significant changes from the last release. gambit-scheme is not a dependency anymore. Upstream uses a pinned gambit-scheme version that is compiled as a library and used.

If it helps, please consider the below PKGBUILD that should be able to build v0.18

pkgname=gerbil-scheme
_pkgname=gerbil
pkgver=0.18
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Opinionated dialect of Scheme designed for systems programming, on the Gambit runtime."
arch=(x86_64 i686)
url="https://github.com/mighty-gerbils/gerbil"
license=('LGPLv2.1' 'Apache 2.0')
depends=('openssl' 'zlib' 'sqlite')
conflicts=('gerbil-scheme-git')
source=("git+$url#tag=v$pkgver")
sha512sums=('SKIP')

build() {
    cd "$_pkgname"

    echo "Configuring..."
    ./configure --prefix="/opt/gerbil"

    echo "Building..."
    make
}

package() {
    echo "Packaging..."

    cd "$_pkgname"
    make DESTDIR=${pkgdir} install

    mkdir -p ${pkgdir}/etc/profile.d/
    cat <<'EOF' > ${pkgdir}/etc/profile.d/gerbil-scheme.sh
export PATH=/opt/gerbil/bin:$PATH
EOF
}

Changes to PKGBUILD
- Updated upstream URL to be github.com/mighty-gerbils/gerbil
- Change source to pull by git tag; removed install.patch as it is not needed any more
- Removed optdepends, pkg_installed() and _enabled_features as these have been moved out into separate libraries.
- Updated source to pull by tag
- Removed GERBIL_BUILD_CORES as ./configure determines this from make -jX as setup in /etc/makepkg.conf
- Removed GERBIL_GSC and GERBIL_HOME as upstream does not require them to be setup anymore.
- Updated package paths to match upstream's defaults
- Quoted EOF in the here-document to not to have $PATH expanded during packaging; unescaped $PATH

Note that for me, gambit-c==4.9.4 does not supply gsi, which is necessary for Gerbil to work, so this only works for me with gambit-c==4.9.3.

@segment289 thank you! Fixed and pushed!

Your timing couldn't have been better. Thank you. :-) But /etc/profile.d/gerbil-scheme.sh doesn't come out quite right. From PKGBUILD:

    cat <<EOF >${pkgdir}/etc/profile.d/gerbil-scheme.sh
#!/bin/bash
export GERBIL_GSC=/usr/bin/gambitc
export GERBIL_HOME=/opt/gerbil-scheme
export PATH=/opt/gerbil-scheme/bin:$PATH
EOF

The problem is that whatever I happened to have in my personal $PATH when I ran makepgk ends up in /etc/profile.d/gerbil-scheme.sh; I think you want to quote $PATH:

export PATH=/opt/gerbil-scheme/bin:\$PATH
