Hi,
 
I have built guile-2.1.1 on OpenBSD/amd64 5.8. I did the following:
 
* ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
* gmake -j 3
* check-guile # For testing the release
I installed the following packages to stisfy dependencies:
 
$ pkg_info -I boehm-gc gmp libltdl libffi libunistring

boehm-gc-7.4.2p0    garbage collection and memory leak detection for C and C++
gmp-5.0.2p3         library for arbitrary precision arithmetic
libltdl-2.4.2p1     GNU libtool system independent dlopen wrapper
libffi-3.1p0        Foreign Function Interface
libunistring-0.9.5  manipulate Unicode strings
 
The build itself went smoothly and the system seems to work, but the generated "check-guile.log" shows
5 errors. I do not have enough guile-foo to deceide if the failures are serious or not.
 
I have attached the gzipped log.
 
Many thanks in advance for your help and many thanks for maintaining guile.
 
Best Regards,
 
Alexander

Cool, thank you very much for testing the release!

These are the five failures, for what it's worth:

FAIL: i18n.test: locale objects: make-locale with unknown locale
FAIL: i18n.test: character mapping: char-locale-upcase Turkish
FAIL: i18n.test: character mapping: char-locale-downcase Turkish
FAIL: i18n.test: string mapping: string-locale-upcase Turkish
FAIL: i18n.test: string mapping: string-locale-downcase Turkish

They are not terribly serious.  I guess that you get them on Guile
2.0.11 as well.  Is that the case?

The last 4 could a problem with OpenBSD's iconv for turkish locales; not
sure.  I don't know about the first one.
