6.23.1 Configuration, Build and Installation
The following procedures and variables provide information about how
Guile was configured, built and installed on your system.
Scheme Procedure:
version
Scheme Procedure:
effective-version
Scheme Procedure:
major-version
Scheme Procedure:
minor-version
Scheme Procedure:
micro-version
C Function:
scm_version
()
C Function:
scm_effective_version
()
C Function:
scm_major_version
()
C Function:
scm_minor_version
()
C Function:
scm_micro_version
()
Return a string describing Guile’s full version number, effective
version number, major, minor or micro version number, respectively.
The
effective-version
function returns the version name that
should remain unchanged during a stable series. Currently that means
that it omits the micro version. The effective version should be used
for items like the versioned share directory name
i.e.
/usr/share/guile/3.0/
(version) ⇒ "3.0.0"
(effective-version) ⇒ "3.0"
(major-version) ⇒ "3"
(minor-version) ⇒ "0"
(micro-version) ⇒ "0"
Scheme Procedure:
%package-data-dir
C Function:
scm_sys_package_data_dir
()
Return the name of the directory under which Guile Scheme files in
general are stored. On Unix-like systems, this is usually
/usr/local/share/guile
or
/usr/share/guile
Scheme Procedure:
%library-dir
C Function:
scm_sys_library_dir
()
Return the name of the directory where the Guile Scheme files that
belong to the core Guile installation (as opposed to files from a 3rd
party package) are installed. On Unix-like systems this is usually
/usr/local/share/guile/
GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION
or
/usr/share/guile/
GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION
for example
/usr/local/share/guile/3.0
Scheme Procedure:
%site-dir
C Function:
scm_sys_site_dir
()
Return the name of the directory where Guile Scheme files specific to
your site should be installed. On Unix-like systems, this is usually
/usr/local/share/guile/site
or
/usr/share/guile/site
Scheme Procedure:
%site-ccache-dir
C Function:
scm_sys_site_ccache_dir
()
Return the directory where users should install compiled
.go
files for use with this version of Guile. Might look something like
/usr/lib/guile/3.0/site-ccache
Variable:
%guile-build-info
Alist of information collected during the building of a particular
Guile. Entries can be grouped into one of several categories:
directories, env vars, and versioning info.
Briefly, here are the keys in
%guile-build-info
, by group:
directories
srcdir, top_srcdir, prefix, exec_prefix, bindir, sbindir, libexecdir,
datadir, sysconfdir, sharedstatedir, localstatedir, libdir, infodir,
mandir, includedir, pkgdatadir, pkglibdir, pkgincludedir
env vars
LIBS
versioning info
guileversion, libguileinterface, buildstamp
Values are all strings. The value for
LIBS
is typically found
also as a part of
pkg-config --libs
guile-3.0
output. The value for
guileversion
has form X.Y.Z, and should be the same as returned
by
(version)
. The value for
libguileinterface
is libtool
compatible and has form CURRENT:REVISION:AGE (see
Library interface versions
in
GNU Libtool
). The value for
buildstamp
is the output of the command ‘
date -u +'%Y-%m-%d
%T'
’ (UTC).
In the source,
%guile-build-info
is initialized from
libguile/libpath.h, which is completely generated, so deleting this file
before a build guarantees up-to-date values for that build.
Variable:
%host-type
The canonical host type (GNU triplet) of the host Guile was configured
for, e.g.,
"x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu"
(see
Canonicalizing
in
The GNU Autoconf Manual
).
