The latest official Guile release is available via anonymous FTP from

The mailing list `guile@cygnus.com' carries discussions, questions,
|

and often answers, about Guile. To subscribe, send mail to

Building and installing this distribution gives you:
|
||||||
|
guile --- a stand-alone interpreter for Guile, usually installed in
|
||||||
|
/usr/local/bin. With no arguments, this is a simple
|
||||||
|
interactive Scheme interpreter. It can also be used as an
|
||||||
|
interpreter for script files; see the NEWS file for details.
|
||||||
|
libguile.a --- an object library containing the Guile interpreter,
|
||||||
|
usually installed in /usr/local/lib. You can use Guile in
|
||||||
|
your own programs by linking against this.
|
||||||
|
libqt.a --- an object library containing the QuickThreads primitives.
|
||||||
|
If you enabled thread support when you configured Guile, you
|
||||||
|
will need to link your code against this too.
|
||||||
|
<libguile.h>, <libguile/*.h> --- header files for libguile.a, usually
|
||||||
|
installed in /usr/local/include.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Interesting files include:
|
||||||
|
- INSTALL, which contains instructions on building and installing Guile.
|
||||||
|
- NEWS, which describes user-visible changes since the last release of Guile.
|
||||||
|
- COPYING, which describes the terms under which you may redistribute
|
||||||
|
Guile, and explains that there is no warranty.

||||||

|
||||||
|
--with-threads flag, you will need to link against the -lqt
|
||||||
|
library, found in this directory. Qt is under a separate
|
||||||
|
copyright; see `qt/README' for more details.

(The present release doesn't include any documentation; the Guile

manual is incomplete, and is currently being revised.)
