[Larceny-users] ARM Chromebook build progress (Ubuntu via Crouton; Acer Chromebook 13)

[William D Clinger]

Ken Dickey encountered the following error during a build
from source that appears to have been unpacked from
larceny-0.99-src.tar.gz :

--> Error: unhandled condition:
Compound condition has these components: 
#<record &assertion>
#<record &who>
    who : compile-library
#<record &message>
    message : "contains non-library code"
#<record &irritants>
    irritants : ("._original.sls")

That file (and numerous other files whose names begin with
"._") came from unpacking

http://www.larcenists.org/LarcenyReleases/larceny-0.99-src.tar.gz

Those files should not have been present within the source
distribution.  They contain gibberish related to an Apple
"feature" known as com.apple.quarantine:

https://developer.apple.com/library/content/releasenotes/Carbon/RN-LaunchServices/index.html

In short, the error you are encountering was caused by my use
of an Apple Macintosh and a Firefox browser when packaging the
source code for the larceny-0.99-src.tar.gz file.  

I have created a new larceny-0.99-src.tar.gz file, without the
"._" files, and copied that corrected file to the larcenists.org
site.  I will avoid using Apple products when creating the v1.3
files for download.

Thank you for bringing this problem to my attention.
