Re: Guile portability?

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hi Paul,

Guile exercises a very large subset of the POSIX API (file system,
networking, threads, etc.) and thus is quite exposed to portability
issues.  I suspect it’s not as portable as GNU Make, but that can be
fixed.

We mostly check it on GNU variants, but also on MacOS X and FreeBSD and
from time to time on Solaris and a few others.  Fortunately, Guile uses
Gnulib, and a large part of the OS-sensitive APIs is wrapped by Gnulib.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
