I hope that someone will fix the README to reference it. It would also be appropriate to correct the HACKING file which says "Then you must run the autogen.sh script, as described below." but I do not recognize anything "below" as explaining autogen.sh further - in fact there is no later mention of it! Fortunately, "./autogen.sh" did the trick with none of the scary configuration "described below" being necessary. I do not mean my feedback to be snarky but rather to assist you in your commitment to have the latest Guile available to testers beyond the development team. Well, autogen.sh and configure both seem happy, but when I try to run make I get: CC libguile_2.2_la-scmsigs.lo scmsigs.c:155:1: error: static declaration of 'GC_get_suspend_signal' follows non-static declaration /usr/local/include/gc/gc.h:1067:22: note: previous declaration of 'GC_get_suspend_signal' was here make[3]: *** [libguile_2.2_la-scmsigs.lo] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/guile-2.0.3/libguile' make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/guile-2.0.3/libguile' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/guile-2.0.3' make: *** [all] Error 2 Perhaps my libgc is too new (7.3alpha1) I'll fiddle around and see what works.

I have tried with git libgc, and cannot reproduce this issue. I think it must be that you ran configure with an old libgc, then updated, then tried to build again without reconfiguring. Assuming this is the case, I'm closing this bug.
