Although I can claim to be an old autoconf and automake user, I needed two hours and the help from Kevin Ryde to get it running. Therefore I'd suggest that you add some instructions to guile-core/autogen.sh so that it does become so extremely frustrating to attempt to build guile. # ===================================================================== # The above commands can fail under some circumstances. # Here are instructions for getting things working manually. # # 1) You need autoconf 2.59, automake 1.9.x in the $PATH. # You also need libtool >= 1.5 installed, say, under $LIBTOOL_PREFIX. # You also need gettext >= 0.11.2 installed, say, under $GETTEXT_PREFIX. # # 2) Use these commands to update guile-core: # $LIBTOOL_PREFIX/bin/libtoolize --force --copy --ltdl # cp $LIBTOOL_PREFIX/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 guile-config/libtool.m4 # aclocal -I guile-config # autoconf # autoheader && touch config.h.in # automake -a # cp $GETTEXT_PREFIX/share/gettext/config.rpath config.rpath # # 3) Use these commands to update guile-core/guile-readline: # (cd guile-readline # aclocal -I ../guile-config # autoconf # automake -a # ) # # 4) For the first configure, use # ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode Bruno _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
