* [ANN] guile-curl 0.8 released [not found] <20210111013330.GA1517301.ref@spikycactus.com> @ 2021-01-11 1:33 ` Mike Gran 2021-01-11 2:50 ` Aleix Conchillo Flaqué 0 siblings, 1 reply; 3+ messages in thread From: Mike Gran @ 2021-01-11 1:33 UTC (permalink / raw) To: guile-user I am pleased to announce the release of guile-curl 0.8. This is a library for fetching files by URL from the internet in the GNU Guile dialect of the Scheme programming language. It wraps functionality provided by the libcurl library. It supports many protocols, such as https, ftp, tftp, gopher, and smtp, and it has many options for proxies. In the previous release, Aleix and Ricardo reported that it failed to build or pass its test suite. I couldn't reproduce those problems on my boxes, but, hopefully this hack improves the situation. The development tree is at https://github.com/spk121/guile-curl For a source archive from a javascript-free location, there is http://lonelycactus.com/tarball/guile_curl-0.8.tar.gz The md5 sum is at http://lonelycactus.com/tarball/guile_curl-0.8.tar.gz.md5 and is 01eda6d02f8ac1568db3a1a0ef3781a5 guile_curl-0.8.tar.gz Alternately, you can find it under the Github release page. The versions found here are unbootstrapped. They are, however, https. https://github.com/spk121/guile-curl/releases There is a webpage -- in need of updating -- at http://www.lonelycactus.com/guile-curl.html For Release 0.8 - Jan 11, 2021 - Eliminate all traces of gnulib - Use srfi-64 for test scripts - Avoid recursive automake - Simplify build somewhat - When CURL constants and enums are not present, the Guile versions will be #f, instead of undefined - Use pkg-config instead of curl-config to gather information about the libcurl install - Remove ChangeLog There is no mailing list for this project. Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions. Thanks, Mike Gran ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

This new version works fine and is now available in homebrew guile :-). One minor thing is that I was using brew defaults and I think they add more make jobs (i.e. -jN where N > 1). This meant that curl.scm was built before the extension and therefore it failed. To solve it I just forced it to "make -j1", which is totally fine since there are just a few files. Thanks!
