Can MIT/GNU scheme compile to a standalone executable?


I know that MIT/GNU scheme can be used to compile a scheme program to native code using "cf", but can it compile into a standalone executable? Or, can the resulting ".com" file be transformed into a standalone executable? I can't find much information about this in the manual.

Hunt up chicken scheme, it compiles scheme to C. It's BSD-licensed, at least a decade old and the mailing lists are quite active, that's all I know about it.

That looks like it will do the job well. The main website is at http://www.call-cc.org/.

Other implementations I found that can compile are Bigloo and Gambit.

I'll probably use Chicken, but I'm still curious about whether MIT/GNU scheme can do it.

I installed chicken scheme, and it successfully compiled a (slightly modified) scheme program I had written. It looks like chicken is exactly what I needed.

Thanks!
