Conceptually, guile-procedures.txt is dependent on the configuration of Guile. So, strictly speaking, we can't distribute the 'right' guile-procedures.txt file. But, we can probably distribute one that is almost always right, but we have to be careful when generating it. I.e. when Guile has been configured --without-threads, guile-procedures.txt wont contain the docs for the threading functions. So, when we have a good way to create a default guile-procedures.txt, then I'd say we should distribute it. _______________________________________________ Bug-guile mailing list Bug-guile@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-guile ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

I believe we were going to write some instructions to distributors on how to build a generic Guile for including in a distribution. Has that been done yet? (FWIW, I would specify `--with-threads'.)
