How do you organize your directories for arc2c? In particular, where does Anarki go relative to arc2c? Do you overlap the git repositories? And then what directory do you start arc in? (I can't get the paths to work for the loads.)

I'm not sure I fully understand your question, but you are supposed to put all the arc2c files at the root level, where arc.sh lives, then load arc2c.sh and finally call (compile-file "foo.arc"). Tell me if I didn't answer your question or if you still get something wrong.

minor correction: s/arc2c\.sh/arc2c\.arc/

To be specific:

  $ ls
  arc2c/ arc-wiki/
  $ cd arc-wiki/
  $ cp -r ../arc2c/* .
  $ ./arc.sh
  Use (quit) to quit, (tl) to return here after an interrupt.
  arc> (load "arc2c.arc")
  nil
  arc> (compile-file "t.arc")
   <lots of stuff>

Yes, that's what I was looking for: where to put arc2c in the tree.

My next arc2c problems are a) gc.h is missing; do I need to download it somewhere? and b) ‘QUOTE_CONSTANTS’ undeclared - I can't figure out where it gets declared. I'm trying to compile simply "(+ 1 1)".

a) Yes, you need the Boehm GC. What I do is, I comment out gc.h and add #define GC_MALLOC malloc #define GC_INIT()

b) That's a bug

How do I push changes to the git? "git push" gives me "fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly". I set up a ssh public key. Do I need to get authorization from you guys? (I've never done a git push before, so assume I may be doing something stupid.)

You're on the collaborators' list now. Just push again, and everything should be working.

You'll have to ask sacado to add you to the list of committers.
