  To: Guile

Hi, I'm trying to install Guile 2.0. My system is gNewSense, so I had
install some dependencies from source (libffi, etc) since gNewSense have
too old libraries. I don't get problems to configure Guile. I'm using
(adn I'm not sure if this is correct)

./configure LIBFFI_CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/lib/libffi-3.0.9/include
LIBFFI_CFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib LIBFFI_LIBS=-lffi.so.5

But at make I get: 

  CC     libguile_2.0_la-uniform.lo
  CC     libguile_2.0_la-values.lo
  CC     libguile_2.0_la-variable.lo
  CC     libguile_2.0_la-vectors.lo
  CC     libguile_2.0_la-version.lo
  CC     libguile_2.0_la-vm.lo
make[3]: *** [libguile_2.0_la-vm.lo] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory
`/home/german/Instalados/guile-2.0.0/libguile'

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/german/Instalados/guile-2.0.0'

Some suggestion? Thanks in advance.

Can you compile with “make V=1” to get full output?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Which version of gNewSense are you running, and which processor
architecture?

This is gNewSense Deltah, with the latest updates. The architecture is
i686 (an old Pentium III).

Germán,

Please cd into guile-2.0.0/libguile, and from there run the following
command:

gcc -std=gnu99 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DBUILDING_LIBGUILE=1 -I.. -I.. -I../lib -I../lib -L/usr/local/lib -pthread -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wundef -Wswitch-enum -fvisibility=hidden -I/usr/local/include -g -O2 -MT libguile_2.0_la-vm.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/libguile_2.0_la-vm.Tpo -c vm.c -o libguile_2.0_la-vm.o

and please show us the output of that command.  That's the command that
failed, but without redirecting stdout and stderr to /dev/null.

    Thanks,
      Mark

Germán,

It looks like you might have run "make clean", or perhaps unpacked a
fresh copy of the source code, before running the command I asked you to
run.  In order for the command to tell us anything useful, it must be
run after you have tried the normal build process and let it run as far
as it will go.  Can you please do that and try it again?

    Best,
     Mark

Germán,

Please send us the output of the following commands:

  gcc --version
  gcc -dumpmachine
  cat /proc/cpuinfo
  free -m

And finally, again from the libguile directory, please run the following
command and send us the output.  It is slightly different than the last
one you tried.

gcc -std=gnu99 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DBUILDING_LIBGUILE=1 -I.. -I.. -I../lib -I../lib -L/usr/local/lib -pthread -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wundef -Wswitch-enum -fvisibility=hidden -I/usr/local/include -g -O2 -MT libguile_2.0_la-vm.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/libguile_2.0_la-vm.Tpo -c vm.c -o libguile_2.0_la-vm.o -Q -time -save-temps; echo EXIT STATUS $?; ls -l vm.*

    Thanks,
      Mark

Hi Germán,

Just in case it's not already obvious to you, the thing that's really
weird here is that compilation apparently fails but without displaying
any kind of detailed error message.  This is practically unheard of, and
I don't recall any similar case in previous Guile-related reports.

That's why we're all asking questions - which may seem strange to you -
about your exact compiler, platform and so on.

So, basically, if there's anything you can do to get the compiler to
print more information about why it is failing, that would help.

Regards,
        Neil

OK, I solved the problem. Checking the files vm.c, vm.s,... . I found
the character

\f

at file vm.c. I remember some time ago I had a compilation problem
caused by this character in a file. However, this character not always
cause problems. I removed all occurrences of this character in vm.c, and
that was the solution :)  Thank you all for your help.

Hi Germán,

If the ^L character was a problem, then you’d have troubles compiling
GNU programs.  :-)

So I suspect there was another problem.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Maybe touching these file triggered a required rebuild.
So the bug would be a missing dependency in the makefiles?

Was the ctrl-L what he said is the problem?

I don't know what email reader you are using,
but I saw this:

there's a strange character between the ctrl-L and the "at file".
I thought that was what he was having problems with.

od -x

0000120 7463 7265 0a0a 0a0c ef0a bfbb 7461 6620

Sorry it's byte swapped, but the 0x0C is the ctrl-L
and the strange character is 0xEF.  How did that
get there?

You could imagine a compiler bug that only happens
on strange computers when there is a strange
character in a strange place in the input buffer.

I see a ^L above, yes.

EF BB BF is the Unicode Byte-Order Mark encoded in UTF-8.

I send you attached an image about how I see this character on Gedit and
Emacs.

One possibility is that the hand-entered compile command actually worked
for some reason.  It certainly appears to have worked.  Perhaps the
added debugging switches, or perhaps something missing from the
environment that libtool or make provides, made it work.

Germán's later efforts to compile may have worked not because he removed
the Ctrl-Ls (which seems implausible), but rather because the
hand-entered command had already built the needed object file, and it
has remained.

Of course, you would think that his modification of vm.c would cause the
object file to be replaced.  But suppose the compiler dies before
overwriting the object file?  Suppose further that it returns a 0 result
code?

Yes, I'm grasping at straws, but I see nothing more substantial to grasp
onto :)
