I now intended to start using guile again. I used guile daily for my R&D from 1995 to 2008. The last guile I built for was guile-1.8.5
However, my old module build does no longer work with guile-1.8.8 (the latest stable downloaded from savannah.gnu.org) Previously the guile dist contained an example directory (the box) now essential files from these directories are missing. The previous guile-1.8.5/examples/box-dynamic-module contained these files: box.c box-module.scm Makefile Makefile.in box-mixed.scm check.test Makefile.am README However, when checking guile-1.8.5/examples/box-dynamic-module in now only contains box.c box-mixed.scm box-module.scm README where the README file says: ** Overview This directory includes an example program for extending Guile with a new (and even useful) data type, putting it into a shared library, so it can be called from an unmodified guile interpreter. Further, the shared library defines a new guile module. * Build Instructions To build the example, simply type make libbox-module in this directory. * which is obviously not doable as there i s no make file. The manual says nothing about compiling modules. How am I supposed to get things working, when the necessary example files are missing and/or misleading?
