42 # GUILE_PKG -- find Guile development files
43 #
44 # Usage: GUILE_PKG([VERSIONS])
45 #
46 # This macro runs the @code{pkg-config} tool to find development files
47 # for an available version of Guile.
48 #
49 # By default, this macro will search for the latest stable version of
50 # Guile (e.g. 2.0), falling back to the previous stable version
51 # (e.g. 1.8) if it is available. If no guile-@var{VERSION}.pc file is
52 # found, an error is signalled. The found version is stored in
53 # @var{GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION}.
54 #
55 # If @code{GUILE_PROGS} was already invoked, this macro ensures that the
56 # development files have the same effective version as the Guile
57 # program.
58 #
59 # @var{GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION} is marked for substitution, as by
60 # @code{AC_SUBST}.

101 #
102 # Usage: GUILE_FLAGS
103 #
104 # This macro runs the @code{pkg-config} tool to find out how to compile
105 # and link programs against Guile. It sets four variables:
106 # @var{GUILE_CFLAGS}, @var{GUILE_LDFLAGS}, @var{GUILE_LIBS}, and
107 # @var{GUILE_LTLIBS}.
108 #
109 # @var{GUILE_CFLAGS}: flags to pass to a C or C++ compiler to build code that
110 # uses Guile header files. This is almost always just one or more @code{-I}
111 # flags.
112 #
113 # @var{GUILE_LDFLAGS}: flags to pass to the compiler to link a program
114 # against Guile. This includes @code{-lguile-@var{VERSION}} for the
115 # Guile library itself, and may also include one or more @code{-L} flag
116 # to tell the compiler where to find the libraries. But it does not
117 # include flags that influence the program's runtime search path for
118 # libraries, and will therefore lead to a program that fails to start,
119 # unless all necessary libraries are installed in a standard location
120 # such as @file{/usr/lib}.
121 #
122 # @var{GUILE_LIBS} and @var{GUILE_LTLIBS}: flags to pass to the compiler or to
123 # libtool, respectively, to link a program against Guile. It includes flags
124 # that augment the program's runtime search path for libraries, so that shared
125 # libraries will be found at the location where they were during linking, even
126 # in non-standard locations. @var{GUILE_LIBS} is to be used when linking the
127 # program directly with the compiler, whereas @var{GUILE_LTLIBS} is to be used
128 # when linking the program is done through libtool.
129 #
130 # The variables are marked for substitution, as by @code{AC_SUBST}.
