[Fwd: autogen 5.9.8 doesn't build on IA64] -- libguile conflict

[Bruce Korb]

Hi,

I just got this bug report for my project.
My version of the __scm.h header guards the definition of the type
with "#ifdef vms" and "#ifdef _CRAY1".  If there is a version of
lib guile around that doesn't guard it, could you let me know?
I'll make my project error or on an incompatible Guile in that case.

Thanks -Bruce

Summary: autogen 5.9.8 doesn't build on IA64

Initial Comment:
Invoking make on autogen 5.9.8 stops with the following error:
 'error: conflicting types for 'jmp_buf'. gcc 4.4.0 shows that
 the type is defined in both /usr/include/setjmp.h and guile's
 libguile/__scm.h. For IA64 those type definitions differ, indeed.
 Guile version I use: 1.8.7.

Hi Bruce,

This is a known problem, and on my list for addressing quite soon.
Debian has a patch, which I guess would work for you too, so you may
want to look at trying that.

Regards,
        Neil

Hi Neil,

It isn't clear to me how to patch autogen to cope with the issue,
unless I can detect the problem with some configury magic and
force autogen to not #include setjmp.h.  I think it is easier to just
require a different version of guile.  Anyway, my question is:

  How do I detect the broken installation of Guile?

that way, I can fiddle the configury stuff to do one thing or the other.
Thanks -Bruce
