Hello,
I cloned the git repo yesterday (2019-06-10, most recent commit
8d469660525d74734f3184cb9ed01b6f2dcd0445). I ran autogen.sh in the
source directory. I had to comment out the call to m4 --version, which
failed (I have m4-1.4.18). I created a build directory. When I
configure like this:
../guile/configure --with-bdw-gc=bdw-gc-threaded
it works:
---snip---
config.status: executing depfiles commands
config.status: executing libtool commands
config.status: executing po-directories commands
When I configure like this:
../guile/configure --prefix="/home/rmason/32-bit-install" --with-bdw-gc=bdw-gc-threaded
it fails to find various libraries & headers unless I list them
explicitly in the invocation of configure like this:
../guile/configure --prefix=/home/rmason/32-bit-install \
--with-bdw-gc=bdw-gc-threaded \
--with-libltdl-prefix=/usr/local \
--with-libgmp-prefix=/usr/local \
--with-libunistring-prefix=/usr/local \
--with-libiconv-prefix=/usr/local
Is that how it is supposed to work, or is there a bug in the build
system?
I note also that configure claims my readline library is too old (<
2.1), but I have:
pkg info -x readline
readline-7.0.5
Cheers,
Roger

I guess what's happening here is that ./configure automatically looks
for libraries in the prefix directory as specified by --prefix=DIR.
I don't have time right now to verify that guess.

Something went wrong here. The relevant check involves compiling a
small test program that references 'rl_getc_function', which was
apparently added in readline 2.1. Something must have gone wrong
compiling that test program.
After running ./configure, there should be a file 'config.log' which
includes the failed test program, the compile command used to compile
it, and the compiler error messages. Can you search for 'readline' in
that file and see what went wrong?
Thanks,
Mark

That's the latest stable m4 release, and the same version that I have.
It's surprising that "m4 --version" failed. It makes me wonder if
autogen.sh is using Bash-specific syntax.
Does "bash -x autogen.sh" work, when using the autogen.sh that we
provide?

'm4 --version' fails on the command-line too:
m4: illegal option -- -

No, it still fails on 'm4 --version'.
Cheers,
Roger

config.log says:
configure:54907: cc -std=gnu11 -o conftest -I/usr/local/include -g -O2
-I/usr/local/include conftest.c -lreadline -lncurses -lcrypt -lm >&5
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lreadline
So the error message is a bit misleading.
Cheers,
Roger

Adding LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" to the configure invocation fixed it.
