[CM] Building Snd-FTH on Debian unstable...

[Charles Turner]

Hi-

I had a chance to build Snd-FTH on a Dell L700CX running Debian
unstable, although not with it's most recent kernel:

Linux ballard 2.6.14-2-386 #1 Wed Dec 28 17:55:02 UTC 2005 i686
GNU/Linux
gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20061020 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-17)

The build went pretty much without incident except for the following
minor points:

On the FTH side, from CVS:

mkinstalldirs failed a couple of times, but this was where it was trying
to create /usr/local/share/fth when I didn't even have /usr/local/share.

make check failed with the following:

cturner@ballard:/usr/local/src/fth$ make check
#(cd . && aclocal -I m4)
#(cd . && autoconf && autoheader)
#(cd . && autoheader && echo timestamp > stamp-h.in)

        echo '# Signature of the current package.';
\
        echo 'm4_define([AT_PACKAGE_NAME],      [FTH])';
\
        echo 'm4_define([AT_PACKAGE_TARNAME],   [fth])';
\
        echo 'm4_define([AT_PACKAGE_VERSION],   [1.0.8])';
\
        echo 'm4_define([AT_PACKAGE_STRING],    [FTH 1.0.8])';
\
        echo 'm4_define([AT_PACKAGE_BUGREPORT],
[mi-scholz@users.sourceforge.net])';    \
        } >./package.m4
/bin/sh: -c: line 7: syntax error near unexpected token `}'
/bin/sh: -c: line 7: `} >./package.m4'
make[1]: *** [package.m4] Error 2

make: *** [check] Error 2

On the Snd side, from the 8.9 release tarball:

I configured with ./configure --with-gtk --with-jack --with-forth, but
Snd bailed in the link step because there was no -lfth on the command
line:

cturner@ballard:/usr/local/src/snd-8$ make -n
(cd po && make)
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/snd-8/po'

-lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0     -ljack   -lsamplerate
-lm -lm

I put the following in my makefile:

GUILE_LIBS=-lfth

I guess there's no FTH_LIBS... ;-)

Of course I had to fiddle with xen.c to use the Forth functions in the
CVS to make the undefined refs to fth_printing_p and fth_new_eval go
away...

Things look good after some limited testing.

Thanks again! Charles
