@ -6,19 +6,29 @@ To build Guile on unix, there are two basic steps:
2. Type "make", to build the package.
Generic instructions for configuring and compiling GNU distributions
are included below. For Guile, you might type the commands below.
Their voluminous output is not shown.
are included below.
$ tar xvfz guile-970416.tar.gz # unpack the sources
$ cd guile-970416
$ ./configure # adapt Guile to your system
$ make # compile Guile
$ make install # install in the usual places

Special Instructions For Some Systems =====================================
We would like Guile to build on all systems using the simple
instructions above, but it seems that a few systems still need special
treatment. If you can send us fixes for these problems, we'd be
grateful.
SunOS 4.1: Guile's shared library support seems to be confused, but
hey; shared libraries are confusing. You may need to configure
Guile with a command like:
./configure --disable-shared
Guile's shared library support for that system seems to be confused, but
hey; shared libraries are confusing.)
For more information on `--disable-shared', see below, "Flags
Accepted by Configure".
HP/UX: GCC 2.7.2 (and maybe other versions) have trouble creating
shared libraries if they depend on any non-shared libraries. GCC
seems to have other problems as well. To work around this, we
suggest you configure Guile to use the system's C compiler:
CC=cc ./configure
What You Get ==============================================================
