Hi all,
 Is there a build system for guile?
 for instance, maven is the build system for java

thanks in advance

Hi,

Guile 2.0.x features auto-compilation of Scheme source files, such that
for Scheme-only projects, you may find that you don’t even need an
external build system.  :-)

For Guile extensions in C, people traditionally use the GNU Build System
(Autoconf + Automake + Libtool), though that’s not a requirement.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Well, I think it's a stretch to say Maven is "the" build system for
Java.  Also, I seem to recall that maven is not "just" a build system,
but also takes over tasks that are traditionally associated with package
managers, not build systems, i.e. dependency managment between different
software entities ("packages"), package retrieval, etc.

For simple, pure Scheme programs or libararies, there is not much of a
need for a build system in the traditional (i.e. make(1) or Java ant)
sense.  However, package managment is still something very much called
for, and there's not yet a real solution for Guile yet, although I'm
working on something that aims to be package manager for Scheme[0].  So
it would be interesting if you could clarify what exactly you are
looking for.

i agree, (also takes over tasks like unit tests, integration tests, reports,
site, documentation)

so let me rephrase it.

is there a software project management and comprehension tool for guile?
 for instance, Apache Maven is a software project management and
comprehension tool. Based on the concept of a project object model (POM),
Maven can manage a project's build, reporting and documentation from a
central piece of information.
