What is needed to compile Guile?

What does Guile need to compile? (What libunistring does guile need?)

LIBFFI to avoid the need to call it. Acording to the web page, pkg-config is a program to read *.pc files. Where do those come from? I don't see them in the tarball. -- Keith > Am 20.11.2023 04:01 schrieb Keith Wright: >> I am trying to install guile from source tarball. >>

What libunistring does guile need?

I am trying to install guile from source tarball. Of course, I had to install a couple of other things (gmp,m4,etc.) but that's done. gmp from source, other things with apt-get. I'm stuck on libunistring. It seems libunistring is not in Debian but I have libunistring2 already installed: kwrig

C programs in Scheme syntax

I am thinkging about a project that uses Scheme macros to generate C code. To this end I want to encode C programs as S-expressions. For example, the C program that is encoded in Ascii as for (j=0;j<12;++j) a[j] = j*pi/6; might be encoded as an S-expression as (for ((= j 0)(< j 12) (++ j)) (=
