Installation of Guile
Install Guile by running the
following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--disable-static \
--docdir=/usr/share/doc/guile-3.0.9 &&
make &&
make html &&
makeinfo --plaintext -o doc/r5rs/r5rs.txt doc/r5rs/r5rs.texi &&
makeinfo --plaintext -o doc/ref/guile.txt doc/ref/guile.texi
To test the results, issue: ./check-guile. On an i686 system,
as many as 10 tests will fail in the numbers.test
test suite due to minor
floating-point rounding errors.
Now, as the root
user:
make install &&
make install-html &&
mkdir -p /usr/share/gdb/auto-load/usr/lib &&
mv /usr/lib/libguile-*-gdb.scm /usr/share/gdb/auto-load/usr/lib &&
mv /usr/share/doc/guile-3.0.9/{guile.html,ref} &&
mv /usr/share/doc/guile-3.0.9/r5rs{.html,} &&
find examples -name "Makefile*" -delete &&
cp -vR examples /usr/share/doc/guile-3.0.9 &&
for DIRNAME in r5rs ref; do
install -v -m644 doc/${DIRNAME}/*.txt \
/usr/share/doc/guile-3.0.9/${DIRNAME}
done &&
unset DIRNAME
