Hi Guile

I'm trying to compile guile 3 from source code under Mac OS 10.15 with macports, because the 3.0 version is not available in macports. after compiled bdwgc from the source code, I can compile guile 3 successfully, but it failed at 'make install' with the following error:

Must remake target `install-data-hook'.

After a while of digging into the Makefile, I found out it caused by the 'sed -i -e ..." for:

libguile/Makefile.am:

## Instantiate a template.

INSTANTIATE = \

$(SED) -i -e 's,[@]pkgdatadir[@],$(pkgdatadir),g' \

-e 's,[@]pkglibdir[@],$(pkglibdir),g' \

-e 's,[@]GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION[@],$(GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION),g'

...

install-data-hook: libguile-@GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION@-gdb.scm

...

echo " $(INSTALL_DATA) $< \

$(DESTDIR)$(libdir)/$$libname-gdb.scm"; \

$(INSTALL_DATA) "$<" \

"$(DESTDIR)$(libdir)/$$libname-gdb.scm"; \

$(INSTANTIATE) "$(DESTDIR)$(libdir)/$$libname-gdb.scm"

The /usr/bin/sed on Mac OS 10.15, the BSD sed, it's a bit different from the sed on Linux, the "-i" option must be followed a SUFFIX option.

Simply, change it to sed -i "" -e ... works for me, there would be a better solution for it.

Thanks
