1 | FTP Snapshots ======================================================== |
2 | ||
3 | Each night, we make the current Guile sources available via anonymous | |
4 | FTP. Please keep in mind that these sources are strictly | |
5 | experimental; they will usually not be well-tested, and may not even | |
6 | compile on some systems. They may contain interfaces which will | |
7 | change. They will usually not be of sufficient quality for use by | |
8 | people not comfortable hacking the innards of Guile. Caveat! | |
9 | ||
10 | However, we're providing them anyway for several reasons. We'd like | |
11 | to encourage people to get involved in developing Guile. People | |
12 | willing to use the bleeding edge of development can get earlier access | |
13 | to new, experimental features. Patches submitted relative to recent | |
14 | snapshots will be easier for us to evaluate and install, since the | |
15 | patch's original sources will be closer to what we're working with. | |
16 | And it allows us to start testing features earlier. | |

18 | Nightly snapshots of the Guile development sources are available via | |
8ae4d7ba JB |
19 | anonymous FTP from ftp.red-bean.com, as |
20 | /pub/guile/snapshots/guile-core-snap.tar.gz. | |

22 | Via the web, that's: |
23 | ftp://ftp.red-bean.com/pub/guile/snapshots/guile-core-snap.tar.gz | |
24 | For getit, that's: | |
25 | ftp.red-bean.com:/pub/guile/snapshots/guile-core-snap.tar.gz | |

27 | The snapshot FTP site is mirrored at the following locations: | |
28 | Austria: ftp://ftp.aec.at/pub/guile | |
29 | Japan: ftp://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/lang/scheme/guile | |

32 | To build the snapshot, you will need to have autoconf, automake, and | |
33 | libtool installed on your system; the recommended versions are listed | |
34 | in README. | |
35 | ||
36 | After you have unpacked the tar file, run the command `./autogen.sh'. | |
37 | This builds the configure script, Makefile.in, and other derived files | |
38 | used by the build system. |
