Guile-Git requires the following to be installed.
- GNU Guile >= 2.0.11
- libgit2 >= 0.28.0
- scheme-bytestructures
Guile-Git uses GNU autotools to create the build and installation
scripts. The default install location is in /usr/local
. From a
release tarball you can run:
./configure
make
sudo make install
This will install Guile-Git with the prefix /usr/local/
. This
might not be the default load path for your GNU Guile. You may choose
to change the prefix to your GNU Guile's location with ./configure --prefix=/usr
or add /usr/local/
to GNU Guile's load path in your
.profile
or .bash_profile
like this (replacing 2.2 with your GNU
Guile major version):
export GUILE_LOAD_PATH="/usr/local/share/guile/site/2.2${GUILE_LOAD_PATH:+:}$GUILE_LOAD_PATH"
export GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH="/usr/local/lib/guile/2.2/site-ccache${GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH:+:}$GUILE_COMPILED_LOAD_PATH"
A common issue you may encounter when installing, especially on Ubuntu
and Fedora, is guild not being found when you run configure
. This
happens because the configure script finds a symbolic link to a
version of guile with a version number, like guile-2.2. This then has
the configure script check for guild-2.2 which does not exist. To fix
this, you can provide the path to the version of guile you want to
install it for.
./configure GUILE=$(which guile)
The easiest way to start hacking on guile-git is to install GNU Guix and run the following command:
> guix environment -l guix.scm
To build from git you do:
./bootstrap
./configure
make
To run the unit tests you do:
make check
You can then:
- Create a pull request on gitlab
- Send a patch to one of the maintainers
- Come and ping
OrangeShark
about it at#guile@irc.freenode.net
.
And don't forget to add a unit test!
