Sorry, forgot to CC guile-user: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2013-04/msg00010.html Not mentioned in NEWS is the addition of this blurb to README: Note (Guile 2): Guile-SDL build, test and use is done strictly w/ ‘GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=0’ in the environment. If there are build problems, try that first (w/ a freshly unpacked tarball). Anyone who gets good results otherwise (w/o ‘GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=0’), please feel free to followup here. I think long term it would be nice to explicitly or optionally, and definitely consciously, work Guile 2 compilation into the build / test / install flows. Lastly, don't forget Guile-SDL Demos (not part of GNU): http://www.gnuvola.org/software/guile-sdl-demos/ -- Thien-Thi Nguyen GPG key: 4C807502
