compile problems

[Ryan VanderBijl]

FYI: I had the following problems compiling guile 1.8.0 under cygwin:

1. configure couldn't find ltdl library, nor header file.
2. read.c:332 s_vector declared but not used warning,
when configured with --disable-elisp. 
Easily fixed by some ifdefs.
3. throw.c:495 scm_handle_by_message control reaches end 
of non-void function.
Not sure what the correct behavior should be, perhaps
it should 'return SCM_BOOL_F;' like the function
scm_handle_by_message_noexit?


gcc (GCC) 3.4.4 (cygming special)

You need to install libtool (or the ltdl part of it).  Guile no longer
comes with an out-of-date version :).

Thanks.

Or not forcing -Werror on unsuspecting users :-(.

Thanks.

It doesn't return so it doesn't matter.  I guess exit or pthread_exit
isn't marked as noreturn.
