what am I doing wrong building 1.8?

what am I doing wrong building 1.8?

[Andy Wingo]

Hello hackers!

What am I doing wrong when building guile from the 1.8 branch? I'm a bit
ashamed to write, but this doesn't seem normal, and I've seen the same
on head:

    cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/guile \
        co -r branch_release-1-8 -d guile-1.8 guile/guile-core

    [everything fine]

    wingo@bracket:~/src$ cd guile-1.8
    wingo@bracket:~/src/guile-1.8$ ./autogen.sh autoreconf: Entering directory `.'

I can get things to work again if I copy ./config.rpath into build-aux/.
A bug, perhaps?

If I pass --enable-maintainer-mode to configure this problem goes away,

I think so, because people building from the tarball get a usable
`.info' file and (presumably) `version.texi' as well (in case they want
to build the PDF).

Thanks,

Ah, this would be the reason for the warning in autogen.sh. A bit
counter-intuitive:

 http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=include+version+texi+cvs
 http://www.cygwin.com/ml/guile/2000-01/msg00536.html

but if this is the way that things are done, fine :)

Maybe (I'm feeling a bit ashamed too since I'm the guilty party ;-)).

Apparently, it's Automake's responsibility to install `config.rpath'.
Why this doesn't happen is a mystery to me.  I'll try to investigate
that later on.

Thanks,

Actually, it's gettextize/autopoint's job, so that file is supposed to
be installed "once for all" essentially.  Thus, I added it to the
repository in both branches.  Let me know if there's still anything
wrong.

Thanks!

I looked into this area a few months ago.  To be honest, I can't
remember the details clearly now, but does either of the following
help?

In your second message, you had also reached the conclusion that
`config.rpath' must be included in the repository, which is in agreement
with my conclusion.

Thanks,
Ludovic.

In a similar vein, autogen.sh complains about a missing configure.ac when

Normally, it should find `configure.in' (at least it does here).  Are
you running `autogen.sh' out-of-source-directory or something like that?

Thanks,

I run it from the directory that contains configure.in

Strange.  I use the exact same version of `gnulib-tool' here and it
finds it without any problem.  Does "test -f configure.in" return true?

Thanks,

Then I'm clueless.  Can you somehow trace what `gnulib-tool' does?
E.g., with "strace -f -e open,stat,stat64 gnulib-tool --update" or
similar.

Thanks in advance,
Ludovic.

For some strange reason if I do that strace it succeeds a little further and
creates a configure, which later fails after all with a

config.status: error: cannot find input file: Makefile.in

Complete output can be found at:

<http://dev.gentoo.org/~hkbst/guilenostrace2108.output>
<http://dev.gentoo.org/~hkbst/guilestrace2108.output>

Please excuse the few Gentoo-specific pieces of output.

I am using a gnulib build from the live repository. The one on the logs is
only a few days old, but todays version doesn't fix the problem. The version
it reports:

/usr/share/gnulib/gnulib-tool (GNU gnulib) 2007-07-23

is a lie.

What's that:

  open("/usr/lib/libsandbox.so", O_RDONLY) = 3

Doesn't it somehow virtualize the file system?  Might it have undesired
side effects?

Otherwise, I can't explain `ls' output can show `configure.in' and a few
lines later `stat ()' returns ENOENT.

You could as well as try something like this in `autogen.sh':

  strace -e stat,stat64,lstat,lstat64 -f stat --terse configure.in

  stat --terse configure.in || echo "STAT FAILED"

At this point, I don't think it really matters.  :-)
