Can somebody tell me how it is broken, does not work at all, etc ... ? How difficult to make hobbit work again ? Does it require major changes ? these questions were asked by the compiler author himself (revisiting guile after a few years abroad), but the answers are still not known. however, they are *knowable* and probably continued 1.4.1.x hacking will teach me enough to provide them (hobbit revival is the explicitly intended side effect of answering these questions, after all). i was hoping current crop of guile mungers could help, but now i'm more realistic about their abilities and inclinations. if you would like to help, i suggest a hands-on approach: build {guile,hobbit}-1.3.4, run them, take notes, try hobbit-1.3.4 w/ guile-1.4.x, take notes on what breaks, post notes for discussion. perhaps a small subset of programs works w/ hobbit-1.3.4/guile-1.4.x. if so, we can collect them under examples/compilation/, add appropriate configure.in checks for hobbit and augment the "make installcheck" flow. thi _______________________________________________ Guile-user mailing list Guile-user@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-user
