1When Guile is obtained from CVS, a few extra steps must be taken
2before the usual configure, make, make install. You will need to have
3up-to-date versions of the tools listed below, correctly installed.
4i.e., they must be found in the current PATH and not shadowed or
5otherwise broken by files left behind from other versions.
6
7"up-to-date" means the latest released versions at the time that Guile
8was obtained from CVS. Sometimes older or newer versions will work.
9(See below for versions to avoid.)

11In addition to the guile/guile-core module that holds the main
12sources, you also need the two modules guile/guile-scripts and
13guile/workbook. For example, you can use this command to check out
14all three modules:
15
16 $ cvs -d:ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/guile \
17 co guile/guile-core guile/guile-scripts guile/workbook
18
19Then you must run the autogen.sh script in guile/guile-core:
20
21 $ cd guile/guile-core
22 $ ./autogen.sh
