Subject: How to build GNUTLS Guile bindings on Xubuntu
Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2018 01:49:13 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <a9bfbd4d-50fa-9290-0104-cab381dfa35d@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

I read in the docs at
https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Web-Client.html that
Guile will dynamically make use of GNUTLS for HTTPS requests. However, I
don't seem to have the bindings installed. There is a link to a guide on
the same docs page, but the link is dead:
https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/gnutls-guile/Guile-Preparations.html#Guile-Preparations
. More searching showed me the following:

There seems to have been some bug which prevented some tests on Debian
from completing:

Bug discussions seem to indicate the bug was fixed?:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=821457
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=805863

Then there is a commit removing Guile bindings from the gnutls-dev
package on Debian:

https://salsa.debian.org/gnutls-team/gnutls/commit/ebb7130b47dc08311c1de2c189758a73bbaeca27#58ef006ab62b83b4bec5d81fe5b32c3b4c2d1cc2_35_35


Discussion about adding it again:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/linux.debian.bugs.dist/3DTLVkTvME8 

Apart from that, I could not find a download link or repository of the
bindings, like I could for other libraries I so far used in Guile and
run configure make make install in it. So I do not know how to get the
bindings for my system, so that my Guile will be able to make requests
using HTTPS as well as HTTP.

The bindings seem to be available on GUIX:

https://gitlab.digitalcourage.de/htgoebel/guix/commit/1dbe3a8db0a3e5a8e5f9b30e6f6a6bbfb699275b

How can I make it work on a Xubuntu 18.04?

Regards,

Zelphir
