Hi
A few more bug reports regarding autogen-5.9.1:
1) A followup on the problem with the signal handler setup program
in the agen5/autogen.c main() function: I found that the crash happens
in the atexit function doneCheck() when calling
ag_scm_c_eval_string_from_file_line()
which is in file agen5/expGuile.c and crashes when calling scm_read()
for the first time. Thus, the fault may be in guile. Could there be
an incompatibility with version guile-1.8.1 or maybe something went
wrong when I built guile? (that was problematic enough, anyway...)
2) the README file says that there is an option "--with-libguile-link=..."
but this is ignored and the configure file seems to contain only
"--with-libguile-libs=..." (last 2 letters different!)
3) Some, but not all linking steps and especially not all tests seem to
listen to the above "--with-libguile-libs=" option. Therefore, it is
necessary to also (or only) set
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/guile -L/usr/local/somethingelse -lguile -lltdl -ldl"
or similar. In case of a shared build, you then also have to have these in
LD_LIBRARYPATH="/usr/local/guile:/usr/local/somethingelse"
or similar.
In case that fully implementing "--with-libguile-libs=..." is a waste
of time, maybe one could get rid of it alltogether and change the
instruction in the README? (to use LDFLAGS)
4) In Solaris, -lgen is needed for linking anything that contains "pathfind",
which seems to be correctly detected by configure but not included in all
the link steps.
Also, it lives in /usr/ccs/lib/libgen.* so that LDFLAGS may also need
to contain -L/usr/ccs/lib ? Maybe it also depends on which locations
your gcc configuration looks for by default, and not just on the Solaris
version.
5) Testing fails with getopt.test when autogen is already installed, need
to uninstall first. This is probably the same as the only bug that is
currently active in the Bug Tracking list. Maybe put the info in README
as long as the problem persists?
Greetings,
Arto
