[Schemeway-user] how to configure Chicken Scheme?

[Brandon J. V. E. <bva...@gm...>]

I'm trying to get SchemeScript 1.1.4 working with Eclipse 3.1.0 on 
Windows 2000 with Chicken Scheme 2.207.

I have no idea how I might get this to work.  I have read the docs; they 
show a picture of cryptic "filename group, line number group, and error 
link group" numbers and I haven't the slightest clue what these do.  I 
honestly can't understand why anyone would design a UI that way, unless 
there's something about Eclipse development in general that's supposed 
to make this self-explanatory that I simply don't know.  I Googled 
around all over the place for answers but found nothing.  Dominique has 
even told me how to configure something in the past, but I couldn't find 
that, and maybe it was Bigloo.  I tried "2, 3, 1" for kicks but it 
didn't work.  I decided I could either ask here or directly examine the 
source code.  This seems like less work at the moment, so here it is.

Also I'm a regexp dummy.  I tried 
(file:)(([a-zA-Z]:)?[^:]*):([0-9]+):([0-9]+): (.*) just based on some 
random thing some PLT guy was using, but it didn't magically solve 
anything.  I was hoping that leaving it blank would be ok for starters, 
but since nothing's working, I do have a paranoia about whether a 
correct regexp is required.

Also, when I select "embedded Kawa" for my interpreter and then hit 
"Start Interpreter," nothing happens, so I'm wondering if my Eclipse 
setup is problematic.  Shouldn't this just do something, like bring up 
an interpreter window?  I have several older Schemeway plugins in my 
Eclipse environment.  I thought Eclipse was smart enough to resolve 
those, but could they be interfering?

Here's what does work.  I have Chicken Scheme installed in 
D:\lang\chicken\mingw\bin.  I won't quite pronounce it a "known good" 
build, as we've been developing a new CMake-based build, but it does 
seem to be working.  I have my PATH set properly and I can invoke the 
interpreter "csi" from any command prompt. 

I'd be happy for help, and I'd be happy to document what's necessary, in 
general, for people to get their stuff working.  If only someone can 
point me at the proper source of such information in the first place.
