Mes Bootstrapping demonstration

Hi,

I heard that from GNU Mes 0.24 it's capable of being bootstrapped with
M2-Planet. But when I was trying to do that it ended up in some errors in
scm files `something related to (export)`. I also tried this in a busybox
docker image where there's no gcc (not even guile), The M2-Planet and
mescc-tools compiles fine but GNU Mes crashed the container in `sh
configure.sh`.

I was wondering if a step-by-step bootstrap instruction can be written for
a barebone system like a busybox container.

Thanks,
John Wang

Yes, see the core-updates branch.

Sounds like a Nyacc problem.  You're missing GUILE_LOAD_PATH set to
nyacc/modules, or you don't have nyacc-1.00.2.

That could be, I haven't tried such tings.

If you don't want to use Guix, you may have a look at the live bootstrap
project

You might want to take a look at the following files:

https://github.com/fosslinux/live-bootstrap/blob/master/sysa/run.kaem
https://github.com/fosslinux/live-bootstrap/blob/master/sysa/mes-0.24/mes-0.24.kaem

The first file sets up some environmental variables that are used by both mes-0.24 and tcc-0.9.26 steps.
I think GUILE_LOAD_PATH and MES_PREFIX are required by mes and rest (NYACC_PKG, MES_VERSION, MES_PKG_DIR)
are for scripting convenience.

The second file sets up MES_ARENA, MES_MAX_ARENA, MES_STACK and the rest of variables are just for scripting convenience.

Kind regards,
Andrius
