Hi,

I can ./configure make make install guile-2.0.7 from source, however, 
when I then try in build guile-clutter or guile-ncurses from source I 
get errors in both. After googling I found that I should have 
./configure PKG_CONFIG=true.

When I try this, it configures okay, however, I get the following when I 
make ...

./.libs/libguile-2.0.so: undefined reference to `GC_gc_no'
./.libs/libguile-2.0.so: undefined reference to `ffi_type_sint16'

... so at the moment, I can build guile but I cannot build any extension 
packages into it.

Any ideas?

You shouldn't need PKG_CONFIG=true.  Frankly it's a bad idea.

Can you please show us the error messages you get (and any relevant
context) if you configure *without* PKG_CONFIG=true?

    Thanks,
      Mark

This indicates that you need to install the 'libncurses5-dev' package.
In general, when compiling software from source code, you need the *-dev
packages of any library dependencies.

The compile command above is missing the CFLAGS associated with
guile-2.0.  The output of "pkg-config --cflags guile-2.0" should be in
there.  For example, on my system, it is:

  -pthread -I/usr/local/include/guile/2.0 -I/usr/local/include

What --prefix (if any) did you pass to ./configure when you built guile?
What is the output of "pkg-config --cflags guile-2.0" on your system?

Also, can you show us the full output of the "./configure" command for
g-wrap?

     Thanks,
       Mark

Also, what version of g-wrap are you trying to build?

Hello Mark(s) :)

> Also, what version of g-wrap are you trying to build?

Note that in order to build guile-clutter, you also need the following dependencies
to be satisfied [i'm using git, so this is an extract from the README file of the
clutter branch of guile-gnome-platform]

	Guile-Clutter requires Clutter 1.10 development packages.

	Guile-Clutter depends on some parts of Guile-GNOME: the GLib, ATK,
	Pango, and Cairo wrapsets.  These are commonly distributed with the
	`guile-gnome-platform' tarball.  The Guile-GNOME platform tarball itself
	depends on G-Wrap and Guile-Cairo.  See http://gnu.org/s/guile-gnome/,
	for more information.

Note that you will need the very latest guile-cairo [i mean and recommend a git
clone, because it's been patched by Andy Wingo [the developer] in oder to run the
'bouncer' example I wrote [based on the same example written in C by the clutter
folks] and I don't think Andy did get the time to create a new guile-cairo tarball.

If you need [more] help, let me know.

Cheers,
David

Expiring this old bug.  Please open a new one if you have new
compilation failures.  Thanks!
