Hi again,
A month or so I asked:
> What would it take to make skribilo use guile-2.2 instead of guile-2.0?
So I've tried a bit more to do this. If I grab the skribilo-0.9.3
tarball from
http://download.savannah.nongnu.org/releases/skribilo/
unpack it, and run ./configure, then I see complaints, apparently since
I only have guile-2.2 installed:
> configure: error: in `/home/george/Computing/Software/skribilo-0.9.3':
> configure: error: searching for guile development files for versions
> 2.0 1.8, but previously found /home/george/.guix-profile/bin/guile
> version 2.2 See `config.log' for more details
> Compilation exited abnormally with code 1 at Mon Feb 26 15:52:53
This happens presumably because of these lines in
.../skribilo-0.9.3/aclocal.m4:
> AC_DEFUN([GUILE_PKG],
> [PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG
> _guile_versions_to_search="m4_default([$1], [2.0 1.8])"
> [...]
Now, my understanding of the gnu build-system is a bit dim. E.g. I just
tried adding 2.2 to the bracketed list -- so that the above snippet
reads
> AC_DEFUN([GUILE_PKG],
> [PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG
> _guile_versions_to_search="m4_default([$1], [2.2 2.0 1.8])"
> [...]
But now when I try to rebuild .../skribilo-0.9.3/configure
by running autoconf on
.../skribilo-0.9.3/configure.ac
I get errors that I don't really grok:
> sh: build-aux/git-version-gen: No such file or directory
> configure.ac:13: error: AC_INIT should be called with package and version
> arguments
> aclocal.m4:958: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE is expanded from...
> configure.ac:13: the top level
> autom4te: /gnu/store/k631bfg80bdnf0ss2slvnvqz87rgc6lv-m4-1.4.18/bin/m4 failed
> with exit status: 1
(maybe my version of m4 is not the same as that used to build the
original ./configure ? I'm pretty sure that at some point I convinced
myself that this error is unrelated to my edit, though I confess that I
didn't reconfirm that claim while composing this missive...)
I'm sure I'm just being a bone-head; maybe someone has advice as to how
to proceed?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, maybe the answer is that I shouldn't *need* to build skribilo with
guile-2.2. But here is why I think I need to do so:
if I instead install skribilo via
guix package -i skribilo
and if I call the form
(use-modules (skribilo package base))
in a guile-2.2 repl (I did it just now in geiser...), I get errors as
follows:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
scheme@(guile-user)> (use-modules (skribilo package base))
;;; note: auto-compilation is enabled, set GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=0
;;; or pass the --no-auto-compile argument to disable.

footnote-counter) 0) (list (quote footnote-env) (quote ())) (list (quote
figure-counter) 0) (list (quote figure-env) (quote ())))))))
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The "subform" &invocation-location seems to be defined in
...skribilo/lib.scm in the define-markup macro.
This gives me a bit of pause; e.g. I note the comment in
.../skribilo/lib.scm line 112 or so:
;; On Guile 2.0, `define-markup' generates a macro for the markup, such
;; that the macro captures its invocation source location using
;; `current-source-location'.
That seems to be related to the matter at hand, but right now, my
understanding of this is pretty vague. In particular, I don't know
enough to have an opinion why this might (??) behave differently in
guile-2.0 than in guile-2.2.
Thanks for any comments or tips!
Best,
-george
