Hi Marius,
the check for socklen_t fails incorrectly because socklen_t is
defined in /sys/socket.h on Mac OS X, and on BSD systems in general.
What about using
AC_MSG_CHECKING(for socklen_t)
AC_TRY_COMPILE([#ifdef HAVE_SYS_TYPES_H
#include <sys/types.h>
#endif
#include <sys/socket.h>],
[socklen_t x = 1; return 0;],
[AC_MSG_RESULT(yes)],
[AC_MSG_RESULT(int)
AC_DEFINE(socklen_t, int, [Define a type for
socklen_t.])])
instead of
AC_CHECK_TYPE(socklen_t, int)
Best regards
Michael

We are pleased to announce the release of Guile 1.7.91. This is a
release candidate for Guile 1.8. It can be found here:
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guile/guile-1.7.91.tar.gz
Its MD5 checksum is
b2106c1b574e22ec67c4c2178074b5ec guile-1.7.91.tar.gz
The plan is to release version 1.8.0 next weekend, 2006-01-19, if all
goes well.
The NEWS file is quite long. Here are the most interesting entries:
Changes since 1.6:
* Guile is now licensed with the GNU Lesser General Public License.
* The manual is now licensed with the GNU Free Documentation
License.
* We now use GNU MP for bignums.
* We now have exact rationals, such as 1/3.
* We now use native POSIX threads for real concurrent threads.
* There is a new way to initalize Guile that allows one to use Guile
from threads that have not been created by Guile.
* Mutexes and condition variables are now always fair. A recursive
mutex must be requested explicitely.
* The low-level thread API has been removed.
* There is now support for copy-on-write substrings and
mutation-sharing substrings.
* A new family of functions for converting between C values and
Scheme values has been added that is future-proof and thread-safe.
* The INUM macros like SCM_MAKINUM have been deprecated.
* The macros SCM_STRINGP, SCM_STRING_CHARS, SCM_STRING_LENGTH,
SCM_SYMBOL_CHARS, and SCM_SYMBOL_LENGTH have been deprecated.
* There is a new way to deal with non-local exits and re-entries in
C code, which is nicer than scm_internal_dynamic_wind.
* There are new malloc-like functions that work better than
scm_must_malloc, etc.
* There is a new way to access all kinds of vectors and arrays from
C that is efficient and thread-safe.
* The concept of dynamic roots has been factored into continuation
barriers and dynamic states.
See NEWS and the manual for more details.
