Here are some guidelines for members of the Guile developers team.
Hacking It Yourself ==================================================
As distributed, Guile needs only an ANSI C compiler and a Unix system
to compile. However, Guile's makefiles, configuration scripts, and a
few other files are automatically generated, not written by hand. If
you want to make changes to the system (which we encourage!) you will
find it helpful to have the tools we use to develop Guile. They
are the following:
Autoconf 2.13 --- a system for automatically generating `configure'
scripts from templates which list the non-portable features a
program would like to use. Available in
"ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/autoconf"
Automake 1.4 --- a system for automatically generating Makefiles that
conform to the (rather Byzantine) GNU coding standards. The
nice thing is that it takes care of hairy targets like 'make
dist' and 'make distclean', and automatically generates
Makefile dependencies. Automake is available in
"ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/automake"
Before using automake, you may need to copy `threads.m4' and
`guile.m4' from the top directory of the Guile core disty to
`/usr/local/share/aclocal.
libtool 1.3.4 --- a system for managing the zillion hairy options needed
on various systems to produce shared libraries. Available in
"ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/libtool"
You are lost in a little maze of automatically generated files, all
different.
