@title[#:tag "compile"]{Compilation and Configuration}
|
|
|
|
So far in this guide, we have mainly discussed DrRacket and
|
|
@exec{racket} (and @exec{gracket}). The main additional executable is
|
|
@exec{raco}, which is short for ``@bold{Ra}cket @bold{co}mmand.'' The
|
|
@exec{raco} program provides a command-line interface to many
|
|
additional tools for compiling Racket programs and maintaining a
|
|
Racket installation.
|
|
|
|
@itemize[
|
|
|
|
@item{@exec{raco make} compiles Racket source to bytecode.
|
|
|
|
For example, if you have a program @filepath{take-over-world.rkt} and
|
|
you'd like to compile it to bytecode, along with all of its
|
|
dependencies, so that it loads more quickly, then run
|
|
|
|
@commandline{raco make take-over-the-world.rkt}
|
|
|
|
The bytecode file is written as @filepath{take-over-the-world_rkt.zo}
|
|
in a @filepath{compiled} subdirectory; @index[".zo"]{@filepath{.zo}}
|
|
is the file suffix for a bytecode file.}
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item{@exec{raco setup} manages a Racket installation, including
|
|
manually installed packages.
|
|
|
|
For example, if you create your own library @techlink{collection}
|
|
called @filepath{take-over}, and you'd like to build all bytecode and
|
|
documentation for the collection, then run
|
|
|
|
@commandline{raco setup -l take-over}}
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item{@exec{raco planet} manages packages that are normally
|
|
downloaded automatically, on demand.
|
|
|
|
For example, if you'd like to see a list of @|PLaneT| packages that
|
|
are currently installed, then run
|
|
|
|
@commandline{raco planet show}}
|
|
|
|
]

|
|
