Install all dependencies

As I'm developing my module (r7rs "library"), I want to be able to list my dependencies (everything that needs to be installed by chicken-install) in some kind of file, and do something like chicken-install . Like in python: pip install or Clojure lein deps. Is there anything like this in Chicken Scheme?

Solution

I got help in the #chicken IRC channel.

It seems that the answer is to

create an egg definition which contains the dependencies
install the egg with chicken-install while in the directory of the definition. This will install all the listed dependencies along with your egg.
Then, to run in the interpreter, you can load the main scheme file.
