to the experts on Guile: I am trying to get Sly working under Mac OS X Snow Leopard, and am fairly ignorant of the command line. I did get Guile running. That is, I can type "Guile" at the bash shell prompt and Gnu Guile 2.0.11 comes up (and works fine). To get to SIy, I followed the instructions (after installing wget on Mac OS X using brew(*)): …………………………………………………………………………….. wget https://files.dthompson.us/sly/sly-0.1.tar.gz tar xf sly-0.1.tar.gz cd sly-0.1 ./configure make make install ………………………………………………………………………………
given at the site https://dthompson.us/projects/sly.html but after issuing ./configure, I got the response: ………………………………………………………………………............ checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... build-aux/install-sh -c -d checking for gawk... no checking for mawk... no checking for nawk... no checking for awk... awk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking whether make supports nested variables... yes checking whether make supports nested variables... (cached) yes checking for guile... /usr/local/bin/guile checking for guile... (cached) /usr/local/bin/guile checking for Guile version >= 2.0.11... 2.0.11 checking for guild... /usr/local/bin/guild checking for guile-config... /usr/local/bin/guile-config checking if (sdl sdl) is available... no configure: error: required guile module not found: (sdl sdl) ………………………………………………………………………………… Likely foolishly, I tried Make after that. The response: make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. I obeyed. Then did some google searching which led to me believe that I simply do not have the background to proceed further. Can a non-technical person get to Sly from here (in Mac OS X 10.6)? Thank you for reading this far. Roger (Roger Purves) (*) Which in turn required installing tigerbrew. (Thank you, creators of that program.)
