can't build guile 1.6.4 with macosx

[Clem Wang]

i'm running macosx 10.3.4

compiling cs_os_dep.c fails on line 380:

# ifndef mach_type_known
        --> unknown machine type
# endif

but it seems that these lines should have done the right thing:
# if defined(macosx)
#    define MACOSX
#    define POWERPC
#    define mach_type_known
# endif


putting in my own #define macosx before the #if is the obvious work
around, which allows the compilation to go finish.

Unfortunately, the link fails:

gcc -dynamiclib  -o .libs/libguile.12.3.0.dylib
.libs/libguile.12.3.0.dylib-master.o  -L../libguile-ltdl/.libs
-lguile-ltdl -lm -lc -install_name /usr/local/lib/libguile.12.dylib
-compatibility_version 16 -current_version 16.0
ld: Undefined symbols:
_environ


i did run
./configure prior to make.

i'm not sure what else you need to know or whether there is a problem with
my system.
g++ (GCC) 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1495)
Autoconf version 2.12
GNU Make version 3.79, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.
Built for powerpc-apple-darwin7.0


thanks,
clem

Either use fink to install Guile 1.6.4 or try to use guile16.patch from

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/fink/dists/10.3/unstable/main/ 
finkinfo/languages/

If you would like to build the CVS version of Guile you've got to fix  
gc_os_dep.c too. I sent a patch regarding this problem to bug-guile a  
couple of days ago (see the message with the subject "stack base on Mac  
OS X" in the archive) but the patch hasn't been integrated yet.  
Unfortunately, running autogen.sh on Mac OS X isn't straightforward.  
The autoconf, automake and libtool versions shipped by Apple are too  
old and one of the Guile build scripts requires GNU find. What I do is  
to run autogen.sh on a GNU/Linux machine. Then I copy the source code  
to my iBook where I run configure and make.
