How do I use a library?
2 points by bh 3950 days ago | 4 comments
Simple question that for some reason I can't find the answer to. I see libraries in the lib folder. How do I use them?

Taking a guess, I tried:

    (require "lib/http.arc")
but I think this doesn't work because I'm not running arc from the arc folder. This being the case, what should I do?

Since you are not running arc from the arc folder, you need to use either the full path, or the path relative from where you are running arc. If you are running arc in dir/foo/ and the file is in dir/bar/lib/http.arc, you could use:

  (require "../bar/lib/http.arc")

I think you mean load?

load if one is not using anarki which supports require.

Ha, I'd long forgotten require: https://github.com/arclanguage/anarki/blob/master/libs.arc
