Install all dependencies

As I'm developing my module (r7rs "library"), I want to be able to list my dependencies (everything that needs to be installed by chicken-install) in some kind of file, and do something like chicken-install . Like in python: pip install or Clojure lein deps. Is there anything like this in Chicken Scheme?

I got help in the #chicken IRC channel.

It seems that the answer is to

  • create an egg definition which contains the dependencies
  • install the egg with chicken-install while in the directory of the definition. This will install all the listed dependencies along with your egg.
  • Then, to run in the interpreter, you can load the main scheme file.
