Installation of Guile

Install Guile by running the following commands:

patch -Np1 -i ../guile-1.6.7-gcc4-1.patch &&
patch -Np1 -i ../guile-1.6.7-slib-1.patch &&
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-threads &&
make

If you have teTeX installed and wish to build alternate formats of the documentation, issue the following commands:

for DIRNAME in goops r5rs ref tutorial
do
  make -k -C doc/$DIRNAME pdf ps html
done &&
makeinfo --plaintext -o doc/goops/goops.txt doc/goops/goops.texi &&
makeinfo --plaintext -o doc/r5rs/r5rs.txt doc/r5rs/r5rs.texi &&
makeinfo --plaintext -o doc/ref/guile.txt doc/ref/guile.texi &&
makeinfo --plaintext -o doc/tutorial/guile-tut.txt \
    doc/tutorial/guile-tut.texi &&
unset DIRNAME

To test the results, issue: make check.

Now, as the root user:

make install &&
find examples -name "Makefile*" -exec rm {} \; &&
install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/guile-1.6.7 &&
cp -v -R examples /usr/share/doc/guile-1.6.7

If you built the alternate formats of the documentation, install it using the following commands issued by the root user:

for DIRNAME in goops r5rs ref tutorial
do
  install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/guile-1.6.7/$DIRNAME/html
  install -v -m644 doc/$DIRNAME/*.{pdf,ps,dvi,txt} \
      /usr/share/doc/guile-1.6.7/$DIRNAME
  if [ -d doc/$DIRNAME/$DIRNAME.html ]; then
    install -v -m644 doc/$DIRNAME/$DIRNAME.html/* \
        /usr/share/doc/guile-1.6.7/$DIRNAME/html
  fi
done &&

install -v -m644 doc/goops/hierarchy.{eps,png} \
    /usr/share/doc/guile-1.6.7/goops &&
install -v -m644 doc/ref/guile.html/* \
    /usr/share/doc/guile-1.6.7/ref/html &&
install -v -m644 doc/tutorial/guile-tut.html/* \
    /usr/share/doc/guile-1.6.7/tutorial/html

Short Descriptions

guile

is a stand-alone Scheme interpreter for Guile.

guile-config

is a Guile script which provides the information necessary to link your programs against the Guile library, in much the same way pkg-config-0.20 does.

guile-snarf

is a script to parse declarations in your C code for Scheme visible C functions, i Scheme objects to be used by C code, etc.

guile-tools

is a wrapper program installed along with guile which knows where a particular module is installed and calls it passing its args to a program.
