Subject: bug#21347: include-from-path and relative paths in load-path
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2015 21:42:54 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87twrni281.fsf@T420.taylan> (raw)

When there are relative paths in the load-path, `include-from-path'
seems to always interpret them relative to the directory of the file in
which the `include-from-path' is called, instead of relative to the
current working directory in effect when Guile is started.

Is this behavior desired?  I would say not, because when passing "-L ."
to guile, one expects the current directory to be added to the load
path, not some symbolic "current directory" whose true value changes
dynamically.  (Well, I could understand if there were an explicit
`chdir' call, though even then I think the "."  would ideally be
evaluated once at startup, if possible.)
