HI saffron, I have been able to get guile-2.1.8 to build on FreeBSD 11.0.
I had to “pkg install” : pkgconf, gmake, boehm-gc-threaded Then to work around following config issue, I “pkg install autotools” Edit autoconf.ac and find “bdw-gc”, change to “bdw-gc-threaded” PKG_CHECK_MODULES([BDW_GC], [bdw-gc-threaded >= 7.2]) Then run autoconf, then ./configure —prefix=/usr/local, then gmake (make did not work for me), but takes hours. Then “make check”. Matt
