Re: Build from Source Can't Find Guile Development Files

[Jonathan Schmeling]

Welp; I figured it out. I can cache files and, after the first build, thought I could just run make install in the already made directories, thinking that the pkg-config and library files got transfered over at that stage.

Seems not and just running the whole building process each time fixed things.

In good news, I nearly built Artanis; in less good news, it fails on a step towards the end because it tries doing cp -frd -P ./etc/artanis /etc/ when I don't have write access to that directory (hence the building everything to <build-dir>).

I was figuring that'd be handled by setting the prefix but am I mistaken? If so, is there a way to specify where to copy /etc/artanis to?

Thanks, again!

Hey, Nala.

I'm having some trouble building Artanis from source and I was wondering if you might have any guidance or insight?

I built Guile from source to a particular directory; let's call it <build-dir>.

I've updated LD_LIBRARY_PATH to "<build-dir>/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:<build-dir>/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu:<build-dir>/.apt/usr/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"

LIBRARY_PATH to "<build-dir>/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:<build-dir>/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu:<build-dir>/usr/lib:$LIBRARY_PATH"

INCLUDE_PATH to "<build-dir>/usr/include:<build-dir>/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu:$INCLUDE_PATH" (and CPATH and CPPPATH to the same)

and PKG_CONFIG_PATH to "<build-dir>/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig:<build-dir>/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkgconfig:<build-dir>/usr/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH".

I spotted guile-2.2.pc under <build-dir>/usr/lib/pkgconfig and all the contents looked reasonable and properly pathed.

And guile was build fine and runs fine.

The only remote thing I could think of that stood out is that the header files, while under <build-dir>/usr/include, are under two additional directories at <build-dir>/usr/include/guile/2.2 (but I also tried creating symlinks to the contents of the directory in <build-dir>/usr/include and things still didn't work).

And, of course, I'm setting the prefix for configure.

Anything stick out to you that might be worth trying? Any way to directly point at the where it should find the development files?

Thanks for any help!
