[PATCH] Single stepping through code from Emacs

[PATCH] Single stepping through code from Emacs

[Neil Jerram]

Here is a minor enhancement to Guile's Emacs support.  I'll commit in
a few days; let me know if you have any comments before that.

      Neil

When you use GDS to evaluate Scheme code from Emacs, you can now use
`C-u' to indicate that you want to single step through that code. See
`Evaluating Scheme Code' in the manual for more details.

	* scheme-using.texi (Evaluating Scheme Code): Document use of
        `C-u' prefix with evaluation commands.

        * gds-scheme.el (gds-eval-region, gds-eval-expression)
        (gds-eval-defun, gds-eval-last-sexp): Support `C-u' prefix,
        meaning that user wants to single step through the code.

        * gds-client.scm (handle-nondebug-protocol): Add support for
        setting a trap on code that is about to be evaluated.

Looks very nice!

LTDL path problems guile 1.8.5

[Roland Orre]

I finally see the only way out of my 64-bits problems to upgrade to 1.8

The problem, configure fails in the test for ltdl
I downloaded libtool-2.2.4, which seemed to be the latest
from  http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/

I installed it under the guile directory so 
that the libltdl/lib/ is first in LD_LIBRARY_PATH and
libltdl/bin is first in PATH
but configure fails on 
checking for lt_dlinit in -lltdl... 
test ${ac_cv_lib_ltdl_lt_dlinit+set} = set

configure: error: libltdl not found.  See README.

The README was not very helpful on this issue and
I can not find where the 
ac_cv_lib_ltdl_lt_dlinit+set
would possibly be set, I don't even understand what
the syntax ${ac_cv_lib_ltdl_lt_dlinit+set} means

I also tried with a git snapshot, but when running
./autogen.sh it needs a utility named gnulib-tool which
is referenced at several places on the web, but not found
anywhere. Is this the same as above libtool so I'm
expected to make a link from libtool to gnulib-tool ?

	Best regards
	Roland

The 1.8.x series still depends on Libtool 1.5.26 (I'm planning to
investigate what's needed to switch to 2.2, though).  Can you try that?

`gnulib-tool', which is part of Gnulib
(http://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/), is only needed for the 1.9
branch, which may not be what you want.

Once you have a local clone of the Git repository, you can get the 1.8.x
branch this way:

  $ git branch --track branch_release-1-8 origin/branch_release-1-8
  $ git checkout branch_release-1-8

Hope this helps,
Ludovic.

Thanks, that's in now, and with ChangeLogs :-)
