Hi The build of guile in an object directory different from the src directory (belonging to a different user, for example unpacked by root or on RO media) also fails because the build wants to modify the src directory tree!
Should the building not also work when the src is read-only (for example, a CDROM)? All modifications should be made in the destination (object) directory tree? Workaround: copy the src tree to a location where the building user has write permissions. Greetings Arto output of 'gmake': ----------------------------------------------------------- ... ...
