HOWTO

# GNU Guile
# =========
# Slackware 14.0: guile 1.8.8
# Slackware 14.1: guile 2.0.9
# Slackware 14.2: guile 2.0.11
# Slackware 15.0: guile 3.0.7

# I include two versions of Guile below.  2.2.x is the legacy series and
# 2.0.x is ... older than that.

# I use --disable-nls below because I only read & write English (well).
# If that is not the case for you, leave that off (and update gettext).

# If you ever want to uninstall Guile, skip down to the bottom for
# instructions.  If you go from version 2.0.x to 2.2.x, you may want to
# follow these instructions to ensure that 2.0.x's files are gone.

## If you run configure and you get this:
# configure: error: No iconv support.  Please recompile libunistring with
# iconv enabled.
## You may need to recompile and reinstall libunistring...
## If libunistring's configure says iconv is there but does not work,
## you can either fix libunistring's configure tests, or fix glibc's iconv,
## or install libiconv in the /usr/local prefix, then
## let libunistring use that, or maybe do something potentially
## stupid - change libunistring's config.h to define HAVE_ICONV and
## see how that goes.  (I did not do that)
## You could also install the Slackware-current package for libunistring
## depending on how old your running Slackware is...

# Guile 3.0.9 (latest 2023-01-25)
