8.3 API for Installation

The setup/setup-unit library provides raco setup in unit form. The associated setup/option-sig and setup/option-unit libraries provides the interface for setting options for the run of raco setup.

For example, to unpack a single ".plt" archive "x.plt", set the archives parameter to (list "x.plt") and leave specific-collections as null.

Link the options and setup units so that your option-setting code is initialized between them, e.g.:

(compound-unit
  ...
  (link ...
    [((OPTIONS : setup-option^)) setup:option@]
    [() my-init-options@ OPTIONS]
    [() setup@ OPTIONS ...])
  ...)
8.3.1 raco setup Unit

 (require setup/setup-unit)

Imports

and exports nothing. Invoking setup@ starts the setup process.

8.3.2 Options Unit

 (require setup/option-unit)

Imports nothing and exports setup-option^.

8.3.3 Options Signature

 (require setup/option-sig)

setup-option^ : signature
Provides parameters used to control raco setup in unit form.

(setup-program-name)  string?
(setup-program-name name)  void?
  name : string?
The prefix used when printing status messages. The default is "raco setup".

(verbose)  boolean?
(verbose on?)  void?
  on? : any/c
If on, prints message from make to stderr. The default is #f.

(make-verbose)  boolean?
(make-verbose on?)  void?
  on? : any/c
If on, verbose make. The default is #f.

(compiler-verbose)  boolean?
(compiler-verbose on?)  void?
  on? : any/c
If on, verbose compiler. The default is #f.

(clean)  boolean?
(clean on?)  void?
  on? : any/c
If on, delete ".zo" and ".so"/".dll"/".dylib" files in the specified collections. The default is #f.

(compile-mode)  (or/c path? false/c)
(compile-mode path)  void?
  path : (or/c path? false/c)
If a path is given, use a ".zo" compiler other than plain compile, and build to (build-path "compiled" (compile-mode)). The default is #f.

(make-zo)  boolean?
(make-zo on?)  void?
  on? : any/c
If on, compile ".zo". The default is #t.

(make-info-domain)  boolean?
(make-info-domain on?)  void?
  on? : any/c
If on, update "info-domain/compiled/cache.rkt" for each collection path. The default is #t.

(make-launchers)  boolean?
(make-launchers on?)  void?
  on? : any/c
If on, make collection "info.rkt"-specified launchers. The default is #t.

(make-docs)  boolean?
(make-docs on?)  void?
  on? : any/c
If on, build documentation. The default is #t.

(make-user)  boolean?
(make-user on?)  void?
  on? : any/c
If on, build the user-specific collection tree. The default is #t.

(make-planet)  boolean?
(make-planet on?)  void?
  on? : any/c
If on, build the planet cache. The default is #t.

If on, avoid building bytecode in the main installation tree when building other bytecode (e.g., in a user-specific collection). The default is #f.

(call-install)  boolean?
(call-install on?)  void?
  on? : any/c
If on, call collection "info.rkt"-specified setup code. The default is #t.

(call-post-install)  boolean?
(call-post-install on?)  void?
  on? : any/c
If on, call collection "info.rkt"-specified post-install code. The default is #t.

(pause-on-errors)  boolean?
(pause-on-errors on?)  void?
  on? : any/c
If on, in the event of an error, prints a summary error and waits for stdin input before terminating. The default is #f.

Determines the number of places to use for compiling bytecode and for building the documentation. The default is (min (processor-count) 8).

(force-unpacks)  boolean?
(force-unpacks on?)  void?
  on? : any/c
If on, ignore version and already-installed errors when unpacking a ".plt" archive. The default is #f.

A list of collections to set up; the empty list means set-up all collections if the archives list and specific-planet-dirs is is also '(). The default is '().

(specific-planet-dirs)
  
(listof (list/c string?
                string?
                exact-nonnegative-integer?
                exact-nonnegative-integer?))
(specific-planet-dirs dir)  void?
  dir : 
(listof (list/c string?
                string?
                exact-nonnegative-integer?
                exact-nonnegative-integer?))
A list of planet package version specs to set up; the empty list means to set-up all planet collections if the archives list and specific-collections is also '(). The default is '().

(archives)  (listof path-string?)
(archives arch)  void?
  arch : (listof path-string?)
A list of ".plt" archives to unpack; any collections specified by the archives are set-up in addition to the collections listed in specific-collections. The default is null.

If on, when archives has a non-empty list of packages, if any documentation is built, then suitable documentation start pages, search pages, and master index pages are re-built. The default is #t.

A thunk that returns the target directory for unpacking a relative ".plt" archive; when unpacking an archive, either this or the procedure in current-target-plt-directory-getter will be called. The default is current-directory.

A procedure that takes a preferred path, a path to the parent of the main "collects" directory, and a list of path choices; it returns a path for a "plt-relative" install; when unpacking an archive, either this or the procedure in current-target-directory-getter will be called, and in the former case, this procedure may be called multiple times. The default is (lambda (preferred main-parent-dir choices) preferred).
