# GUILE_PROGS -- set paths to Guile interpreter, config and tool programs
#
# Usage: GUILE_PROGS
#
# This macro looks for programs @code{guile}, @code{guile-config} and
# @code{guile-tools}, and sets variables @var{GUILE}, @var{GUILE_CONFIG} and
# @var{GUILE_TOOLS}, to their paths, respectively.  If either of the first two
# is not found, signal error.
#
# The variables are marked for substitution, as by @code{AC_SUBST}.
#

 ])

# GUILE_FLAGS -- set flags for compiling and linking with Guile
#
# Usage: GUILE_FLAGS
#
# This macro runs the @code{guile-config} script, installed with Guile, to
# find out where Guile's header files and libraries are installed.  It sets
# two variables, @var{GUILE_CFLAGS} and @var{GUILE_LDFLAGS}.
#
# @var{GUILE_CFLAGS}: flags to pass to a C or C++ compiler to build code that
# uses Guile header files.  This is almost always just a @code{-I} flag.
#
# @var{GUILE_LDFLAGS}: flags to pass to the linker to link a program against
# Guile.  This includes @code{-lguile} for the Guile library itself, any
# libraries that Guile itself requires (like -lqthreads), and so on.  It may
# also include a @code{-L} flag to tell the compiler where to find the
# libraries.
#
# The variables are marked for substitution, as by @code{AC_SUBST}.

# GUILE_SITE_DIR -- find path to Guile "site" directory
#
# Usage: GUILE_SITE_DIR
#
# This looks for Guile's "site" directory, usually something like
# PREFIX/share/guile/site, and sets var @var{GUILE_SITE} to the path.
# Note that the var name is different from the macro name.

# The variable is marked for substitution, as by @code{AC_SUBST}.

# GUILE_CHECK -- evaluate Guile Scheme code and capture the return value
#
# Usage: GUILE_CHECK_RETVAL(var,check)
#
# @var{var} is a shell variable name to be set to the return value.
# @var{check} is a Guile Scheme expression, evaluated with "$GUILE -c", and
#    returning either 0 or non-#f to indicate the check passed.
#    Non-0 number or #f indicates failure.
#    Avoid using the character "#" since that confuses autoconf.

# Usage: GUILE_MODULE_CHECK(var,module,featuretest,description)

# @var{var} is a shell variable name to be set to "yes" or "no".
# @var{module} is a list of symbols, like: (ice-9 common-list).
# @var{featuretest} is an expression acceptable to GUILE_CHECK, q.v.
# @var{description} is a present-tense verb phrase (passed to AC_MSG_CHECKING).

# GUILE_MODULE_EXPORTS -- check if a module exports a variable

# Usage: GUILE_MODULE_EXPORTS(var,module,modvar)
#
# @var{var} is a shell variable to be set to "yes" or "no".
# @var{module} is a list of symbols, like: (ice-9 common-list).
# @var{modvar} is the Guile Scheme variable to check.
