Hi Everyone, I'm trying to build Make 4.2.1 from the release tarball on an antique system. I've tried configuring with without a guile option, --without-guile and --disable-guile. In each case the tail of configure results in:
checking for working strcoll... yes checking for working alloca.h... yes checking for alloca... yes checking whether closedir returns void... no ./configure: line 9660: PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG: command not found ./configure: line 9672: syntax error near unexpected token `GUILE,' ./configure: line 9672: ` PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GUILE, guile-2.0, have_guile=yes,'make: *** [config.status] Error 2 Failed to build Make Guile is one of those programs that is a constant source of trouble. It often has difficulty building. If it does build, then other packages can't seem to compile and link against it unless the version numbers are an exact match. In fact, configure would probably fail if Guile was present because I build Guile 2.2 from sources (I think this is an Autotools problem). All in all, I prefer to avoid Guile completely. Is it possible to disable Guile support? If so, then how? _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
