Hello, I cloned the git repo yesterday (2019-06-10, most recent commit 8d469660525d74734f3184cb9ed01b6f2dcd0445). I ran autogen.sh in the source directory. I had to comment out the call to m4 --version, which failed (I have m4-1.4.18). I created a build directory. When I configure like this:
../guile/configure --with-bdw-gc=bdw-gc-threaded it works: ---snip--- config.status: executing depfiles commands config.status: executing libtool commands config.status: executing po-directories commands When I configure like this: ../guile/configure --prefix="/home/rmason/32-bit-install" --with-bdw-gc=bdw-gc-threaded it fails to find various libraries & headers unless I list them explicitly in the invocation of configure like this: ../guile/configure --prefix=/home/rmason/32-bit-install \ --with-bdw-gc=bdw-gc-threaded \ --with-libltdl-prefix=/usr/local \ --with-libgmp-prefix=/usr/local \ --with-libunistring-prefix=/usr/local \ --with-libiconv-prefix=/usr/local Is that how it is supposed to work, or is there a bug in the build system? I note also that configure claims my readline library is too old (< 2.1), but I have: pkg info -x readline readline-7.0.5 Cheers, Roger FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p10 (i386)
