Re: Error compiling guile modules with guile extended program

[Vijay Pratap Chaurasia]

Hi,
      I am facing issue with guile extension application installation on
remote servers. We build guile in our home dirs and copy/move, the new
guile and other libraries along with scheme modules and their compiled
files to appropriate location for building extended program. When we
install extended guile application on other server, it tries to re-compile
guile modules, which fails and give below errors.

On build server, we either use *"mv" or "cp -pr"* command to preserve the
time stamps and for remote servers, I tried all possible options I can
think to preserve the module files attributes and permission but guile
still thinks the modules .go files are not latest. I have used below
commands but it didn't help

·         tar                          “tar --selinux --acls --xattrs  -cvf
“ to build and “tar --selinux --acls --xattrs  -xvf” to extract

·         rsync                    “rsync -av -A -X -r -t -e ssh

·         scp -pr

How to transfer these scheme module and their .go files to remote servers
preserving all information to avoid re-compilation? Any help will be much
appreciated.

Thanks
Vijay
