41 # GUILE_PROGS -- set paths to Guile interpreter, config and tool programs
42 #
43 # Usage: GUILE_PROGS
44 #
45 # This macro looks for programs @code{guile}, @code{guile-config} and
46 # @code{guile-tools}, and sets variables @var{GUILE}, @var{GUILE_CONFIG} and
47 # @var{GUILE_TOOLS}, to their paths, respectively. If either of the first two
48 # is not found, signal error.
49 #
50 # The variables are marked for substitution, as by @code{AC_SUBST}.

67 # GUILE_FLAGS -- set flags for compiling and linking with Guile
68 #
69 # Usage: GUILE_FLAGS
70 #
71 # This macro runs the @code{guile-config} script, installed with Guile, to
72 # find out where Guile's header files and libraries are installed. It sets
73 # four variables, @var{GUILE_CFLAGS}, @var{GUILE_LDFLAGS}, @var{GUILE_LIBS},
74 # and @var{GUILE_LTLIBS}.
75 #
76 # @var{GUILE_CFLAGS}: flags to pass to a C or C++ compiler to build code that
77 # uses Guile header files. This is almost always just one or more @code{-I}
78 # flags.
79 #
80 # @var{GUILE_LDFLAGS}: flags to pass to the compiler to link a program against
81 # Guile. This includes @code{-lguile} for the Guile library itself, any
82 # libraries that Guile itself requires (like -lqthreads), and so on. It may
83 # also include one or more @code{-L} flag to tell the compiler where to find
84 # the libraries. But it does not include flags that influence the program's
85 # runtime search path for libraries, and will therefore lead to a program
86 # that fails to start, unless all necessary libraries are installed in a
87 # standard location such as @file{/usr/lib}.
88 #
89 # @var{GUILE_LIBS} and @var{GUILE_LTLIBS}: flags to pass to the compiler or to
90 # libtool, respectively, to link a program against Guile. It includes flags
91 # that augment the program's runtime search path for libraries, so that shared
92 # libraries will be found at the location where they were during linking, even
93 # in non-standard locations. @var{GUILE_LIBS} is to be used when linking the
94 # program directly with the compiler, whereas @var{GUILE_LTLIBS} is to be used
95 # when linking the program is done through libtool.
96 #
97 # The variables are marked for substitution, as by @code{AC_SUBST}.
