my sicp

I decide to read sicp at 2017 summer vacation. this git record my reading.

reason

I know Linux as OS, write few javascript and web programing, but lack some theorem about computer science, so I decide to read some book.

I love javascript as a functional programing language, and http://yinwang.org say lisp/scheme wonderful, so I try to use emacs and lisp, and so on choose sicp.

筆記

每讀完一節會寫筆記，努力認真中。 可以直接在 github 上看， 或用 我寫的 web 版 markdown 閱讀器 看。

scheme interpreter

本來用 mit-scheme，後來換成 guile。

sicp install

To read it local, first I use wget download from https://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/ , put them in ./html .

then I find texinfo format, and download from http://www.neilvandyke.org/sicp-texi/ .

to install need makeinfo or texi2any convert texi to info file. or you can just use info file convert by me.

convert to single info file:

cd texinfo 
make sicp.info
make sicp.html # if you want html version
make sicp.pdf # work if you have TeX installed
make install # if you want to put sicp.info into your info path
INFOPATH=$HOME/.local/share/info make install # spec info path

in Makefile:

• --no-warn sicp.texi has many syntax error, and I do not know how to fix.

• --force for some syntax error in sicp.texi, maybe because of old version. or would not output info file.

• --no-split cause makeinfo output into single file, default makeinfo auto split file.

read info format

you can read it by command info or using emacs.

info ./sicp.info

emacs

you can directly read it or add to your info dir.

;; directly read it
(info "~/sicp/texinfo/sicp.info") 

or add it into a info dir, just add a man-page into manual system.

1. by using info dir, check this 2 variable in emacs, Info-default-directory-list Info-additional-directory-list , choose a dir you like, or create new then add it to addtional list.

2. put sicp.info into that dir, then use install-info command init that dir.

   install-info sicp.info dir
   

3. now press C-h i in emacs, you should see all info in your system, include sicp.info just install.
