Building

LC depends on a modified version of the Gambit Scheme compiler that must be installed before building LC:

# Build the modified version of Gambit
git clone https://github.com/bsaleil/gambit
cd gambit
mkdir build
./configure --enable-single-host --prefix=$(pwd)/build
make -j8
make install

The gsc executable of the modified version of Gambit must be available in PATH both when building and running LC:

# Make 'gsc' binary available in PATH
export PATH=$(pwd)/build/bin:$PATH

Then, LC can be built:

# Build LC
git clone https://github.com/bsaleil/lc -b stable
cd lc
make debug -j8

Running

Make sure the gsc binary of the modified version of gambit is also available in PATH when running lc.

./lc file.scm

Example

To compute the 40th Fibonacci number:

fib.scm:

(define (fib n)
  (if (< n 2)
      1
      (+ (fib (- n 1))
         (fib (- n 2)))))

(println (fib 40))
$ time ./lc fib.scm
