How to export interface with CHICKEN Scheme?

Question

The documentation is not clear on how to use an interface from one unit into another.

I have the following unit a.scm:

(declare (unit a))

(define-interface polite
  (say-hello))

and the following unit b.scm:

(declare (uses a))

(module foo (interface: polite) ...)

When building b.scm, csc complains about knowing about polite:

Warning: reference to possibly unbound identifier `polite'

Answer 1

Ok so I don't know whether it's the best way to do it, but I put my interface into its own file that I include every time I need it. So in my case it's:

In polite.scm:

(define-interface polite
  (say-hello))

In b.scm:

(declare (unit b))
(include "polite.scm")

(module foo (interface: polite) ...)
