Re: Chickadee 0.8.0 released

[Bill Markmann]

Thanks for the hard work on this, it looks awesome!

I'm having trouble building chickadee's guile-opengl dependency -- it looks
like the configure script is looking for guile-2 or guile-2.2 dev
packages.  Has anyone gotten guile-opengl to build under guile 3?  Here's
what I get trying to build it:

bill@cheese6:~/Downloads/guile-opengl-0.1.0$ ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /usr/bin/mkdir -p
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking whether make supports nested variables... yes
checking whether make supports nested variables... (cached) yes
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
configure: checking for guile 2.2
configure: checking for guile 2.0
configure: error:
No Guile development packages were found.

I'm pretty sure I could update the version check in the configure step, but
wanted to know if anyone has gotten guile-opengl (and thereby chickadee)
under Guile 3?

Thanks for any insight!

- Bill
