Building Guile from git sources stuck during make

Building Guile from git sources stuck during make

[Jeremy Korwin-Zmijowski]

Dears,

I am trying to build Guile from git sources (master branch) but when I
issue make command, the process is stuck here :

      GEN      guile-procedures.texi
    make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/jeko/Builds/guile/libguile'
    make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/jeko/Builds/guile/libguile'
    Making all in bootstrap
    make[2]: Entering directory `/home/jeko/Builds/guile/bootstrap'
      BOOTSTRAP GUILEC ice-9/eval.go
    wrote `ice-9/eval.go'
      BOOTSTRAP GUILEC ice-9/psyntax-pp.go

For information :

    $ uname -a
    Linux patch 3.13.0-141-lowlatency #190+7.0trisquel2 SMP PREEMPT Tue
    Jan 23 23:59:12 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


I don't have specific needs, just looking for fun hacking with Guile,
Spacemacs and GNU.

Cheers,
Jeremy

Are you sure it's stuck?  How long did you wait?  The initial
compilation of Guile files takes a long time, so you should be
patient.

Try letting it go a while.  That step can take a long time.

Hi Jeremy,

> I am trying to build Guile from git sources (master branch)

You should consider to checkout and build the stable-2.2 branch instead - unless you
want to help and work on the next (Guile-3.0) release, but did not sound like your
objective, reading your last sentence.

Then as Eli mentioned in his answer, be patient, building from the source can take a
few hours, even more on slow computers ... If you don't want to wait that long, then
grab the latest tarball, it will compile a lot faster (it has some pre-build
'stuff' ...)

How many days did you wait?  (jk)  No, it doesn't take days, it just feels like it.

Depending on the machine, it could take hours..

Oh yeah sorry guys, I let it work during the whole night and it did it !
I thought it was stuck because from git sources (hours) it took
looooonger than from tarball sources (minutes, maybe an hour).

But after a 'sudo make install' I got this error when calling 'guile' in
the console :

    guile: error while loading shared libraries: libguile-3.0.so.0:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Unless someone knows how to fix it without to recompile everything, I
will recompile everything next night haha !

You probably need to run "ldconfig" now as root, to rebuild your
/etc/ld.so.cache.
