1.8.6 build error

1.8.6 build error

[Ben Isajiw]

Hi,

I apologize if this is wrong email list for my question.  Please provide correct list.

I try to build guile 1.8.6 as requirement for autogen as requirement for Anjuta.  First error was cannot find libltdl.so.7.  I don't know how to include my library directory in build (/usr/local/lib) so I copy libltdl.* to /usr/lib.  Then I can get past first error but get strange error as shown:

In file included from ../libguile/_scm.h:53,
                 from alist.c:24:
../libguile/numbers.h:362:2: error: #error sizeof(char) is not 1.
../libguile/numbers.h:383:2: error: #error sizeof(short) is not 1, 2, or 4.
../libguile/numbers.h:400:2: error: #error sizeof(int) is not 4 or 8.
../libguile/numbers.h:416:2: error: #error sizeof(long) is not 4 or 8.
../libguile/numbers.h:432:2: error: #error sizeof(scm_t_intmax) is not 4 or 8.
../libguile/numbers.h:460:2: error: #error sizeof(size_t) is not 4 or 8.
In file included from alist.c:24:
../libguile/_scm.h:147:4: error: #error sizeof(off_t) is not 4 or 8.
make[2]: *** [alist.x] Error 1

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/Download/guile-1.8.6'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I don't think sizeof(char) is possibly not 1 so error is false.  I appreciate it greatly and kind regards.

This is the correct list.

I think these are consequences of libltdl not being found at
configuration time.  (This prevents some of the test programs from
running.)  The easiest solution would be for you to fully install
libltdl (including -dev packages, if using a distro like Debian where
those are split off) in /usr, and then try the build again.  Is that
feasible?

        Neil

I don't know Fedora very well, but from a bit of googling it looks
like you should install the packages "libtool-ltdl" and
"libtool-ltdl-devel".

Yes, please.

Neil,

Your solution is successful after I first un-install previous libtool-ltdl with rpm -e because conflicted rpm install to /usr.  Thank you for your best support.  Maybe future ./configure will recognize situation.

Kind Regards

To make `configure' diagnostics clearer, I added a check for <ltdl.h>:

  http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=guile.git;a=commitdiff;h=96e3f63af02a4ddc944933ad14b566f130a31826;hp=bbfbb2a7cd6313978435ce57283fb09ad002c04a

Thanks,
