Re: Problem when compile guile-2.2.4 on CentOS 6.10/6.8

[An Liu <sourceonly@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I would like to make some update
1. I compile-installed gcc-4.9.4 on CentOS , then it can run configure
without complain socklen_t not defined problem  i metioned above
2.  the system build chain such as autoconf/automake/m4/libtools are
too old,  autogen.sh would failed,  so i need to update these (you
might not need these from tarball, but in case you get source code
from repos, i had both tarball and source code cloned of repos, but i
do edit configure.ac to disable libltdl check)
3.  pkg-config is too old, i compile-installed one, you need to pay
attention to *pc files, easiest way is to create symbol link to
third-party's install location
4. bdw-gc is too old (system provides 7.0, but we need 7.2)
5. new problem is libltdl not found, i was quite sure both system
(libtool-ltdl-2.2.6-15.5.el6.x86_64 package is installed) and i have
compile-installed version under /opt/libtools ( 2.4.6)
neither
#./configure --prefix=/opt/guile
nor
# ./configure --prefix=/opt/guile --with-libltdl-prefix=/opt/libtools
would pass the check
I need to disable this check in configure.ac, comments all following lines
===========================
#dnl Check for libltdl.
#AC_LIB_HAVE_LINKFLAGS([ltdl], [], [#include <ltdl.h>],
#  [lt_dlopenext ("foo");])
#if test "x$HAVE_LIBLTDL" != "xyes"; then
#  AC_MSG_ERROR([GNU libltdl (Libtool) not found, see README.])
#fi
===========================
after autoreconf, we can successfully create configure file for now,
and ./configure would provides Makefile correctly
then manually add LTLIBLTDL  libguile/Makefile as a work around (see
'+'  line below )
============================
LTALLOCA =
LTLIBGMP = -lgmp
+ LTLIBLTDL= -L/opt/libtools/lib -lltdl
LTLIBICONV =
LTLIBINTL =
============================

It's now proceeding ice-9 files,  hoping it would not failed me. :)
