Compiling from GIT

Compiling from GIT

[Hans Aberg]

I made a new system installation, and now the GIT version does not generate 'configure'. I thought one should just run ./autogen.sh; however, this fails, because autoconf (called via autoreconf in this script) cannot find gettext.m4, which is in /usr/local/share/aclocal/, which should be copied into ./m4/.

I can't see if it is a problem with Guile's configure.ac or some installation problem with autoconf-2.68 that makes it not looking into /usr/local/share.

I was able to fix this problem by copying the files to m4 (cp /usr/local/share/aclocal/* m4/). For some reason, autoconf does not copy them.

However, when compiling it, and also guile-1.9.15, I get segmentation fault (as below) in the compiler (Mac OS X 10.6.6 x86-64 Xcode 3.2.5). This does not happen in a somewhat older guile-1.9.8.

Sounds like you're installing things to multiple prefixes (/usr and
/usr/local in your case, presumably).

autoconf will look in /usr/local iff it is installed to /usr/local,
iirc.

I'm on Mac OS X, so originally, there is no /usr/local/, but packages that one takes down, compiled using ./configure && make, typically ends up there.

There is one
  $ /usr/bin/autoconf --version
  autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.61
and I installed
  $ /usr/local/bin/autoconf --version
  autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.68
The ./autogen.sh script writes the version number, so it is clear that the latter is being called.

However, it uses /usr/share/aclocal/, not /usr/local/share/aclocal/. I can see that by changing the name of the former - it still does not work. But if I in addition set a symbolic link to the latter, then it works.

That is, I get the compiler internal segmentation fault mentioned before. Latest version that compiled is guile-1.9.13; 1.9.14 produced an error; and 1.9.15 also gets the segmentation fault. I filed a bug report to Apple, but it will probably not be fixe anytime soon, I would gather.

Are you using CC=gcc-4.2 ?

Please bring this up with your OS vendor; it is not a Guile bug.

Already done yesterday; I mentioned it to you earlier today.

It might though be a GCC bug, but they are at 4.5.2 now.

It turns out that one must install automake too, which contains aclocal - otherwise the one in /usr/bin will be chosen, and it will chose files without /usr/local. Then it works as it should, modulo that gcc internal segmentation fault.

Despite the name, etc., this is *not* GCC; it is Apple CC.

Thanks,

It is even mentioned in the GCC manual. But I wondered if the bug is due to Apple or the original GCC.

When compiling guile from GIT or guile-1.9.1, libguile/Makefile just writes
  CC     libguile_2.0_la-vm.lo
What commands are processed? - For the compiler internal segmentation fault bugreport, I need to modify the gcc arguments (also getting the preprocessed vm.c).

`make V=1'.  See "silent-rules" in the automake manual.

This worked. Thanks.

Apple is changing from a GCC derivation in Xcode 3 and earlier, which are for free, to LLVM in Xcode 4, which they now charge money for. So perhaps they have removed all GPLed software.
