The change that is needed is to modify libguile/continuations.c, libguile/continuations.h, and libguile/gc.c to have ifdefs on IA64 instead of __ia64__. IA64 is set in libguile/gc_os_dep.c only for IA64 Linux. __ia64__ is set by GCC (and other compilers) for both Linux and HP-UX. But the code that is under the __ia64__ ifdef is Linux specific and will not compile on HP-UX. I made the ifdef changes to guile 1.6.7 to test them and I still had a bulid problem that I don't understand, the build of libguile seemed to work fine but the overall libguile make died while making some documentation: | cat alist.doc arbiters.doc async.doc backtrace.doc boolean.doc chars.doc continuations.doc debug.doc dynl.doc dynwind.doc environments.doc eq.doc error.doc eval.doc evalext.doc extensions.doc feature.doc fluids.doc fports.doc gc.doc goops.doc gsubr.doc guardians.doc hash.doc hashtab.doc hooks.doc init.doc ioext.doc iselect.doc keywords.doc lang.doc list.doc load.doc macros.doc mallocs.doc modules.doc numbers.doc objects.doc objprop.doc options.doc pairs.doc ports.doc print.doc procprop.doc procs.doc properties.doc random.doc rdelim.doc read.doc root.docrw.doc scmsigs.doc script.doc simpos.doc smob.doc sort.doc srcprop.doc stackchk.doc stacks.doc stime.doc strings.doc strop.doc strorder.doc strports.doc struct.doc symbols.doc throw.doc values.doc variable.doc vectors.doc version.doc vports.doc weaks.doc symbols-deprecated.doc ramap.doc unif.doc filesys.doc posix.doc net_db.doc socket.do c regex-posix.doc | GUILE="/shale/sje/guile/obj/pre-inst-guile" /shale/sje/guile/guile-1.6 .7/scripts/snarf-check-and-output-texi --manual > guile.texi || { rm guile.texi; false; } | ERROR: In procedure variable-set-name-hint!: | ERROR: Wrong type argument in position 2 (expecting SYMBOLP): # | make[2]: *** [guile.texi] Error 1 | make[2]: Leaving directory `/shale/sje/guile/obj/libguile' I don't know if this is a known issue or IA64 specific or what since I am not that familiar with guile (I mostly just want to build autogen).
