Re: Guile 3.0.10 fails to build for powerpc-darwin (3.0.9 built earlier)

[Gordon Steemson <gsteemso@gmail.com>]

Hello Sergey,

Mail attachments are not passed along through the mailing list, so I can't really see what was going on leading up to the failure you experienced; but it might help if you describe what tweaks you had to make to get 3.0.9 to build.

For the purpose of comparing and contrasting, I have built Guile 3.0.10 in 64-bit mode on my Power Mac G5, and it required three patches:  libguile/dynstack.h and libguile/print.h each needed a redundant typedef simplified to merely a structure definition, and libguile/posix.c required a workaround for the nonexistence of dprintf() on older Darwins.

With those changes, and running make with -j1 to stop it from trying to do parallel jobs, it seems to build successfully – though I'll admit the unit-test suite coughs up a great many failures I have no idea how to address.

For prerequisite packages, I have GetText and a modern Pkg-config as build-time dependencies, and seven run-time dependencies: the Boehm garbage collector, GetText (again), Gnu MP, LibFFI, a modern Libtool, LibUnistring, and Gnu Readline.  I'm only about 90% certain _all_ of those are strictly required, but if any is in fact superfluous, it will at the least not do any harm.

In what ways does what I did differ from your own setup?

Gordon S.
