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)

• setup-option^

• compiler^

• compiler:option^

• launcher^

• dynext:file^

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

colls : (listof (listof path-string?))

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

dir   :   (listof (list/c string?                 string?                 exact-nonnegative-integer?                 exact-nonnegative-integer?))
