I'm trying to build guile-reader from source, but I get the following error during ./configure
checking for gperf... /usr/bin/gperf
./configure: line 9741: syntax error near unexpected token `3.0'
./configure: line 9741: `GUILE_PKG(3.0 2.2 2.0 1.8)'
I have installed guile 3.0.5 also from source, and I know from building other guile-* packages that I might need to specify custom PKG_CONFIG/LD_LIBRARY path env vars. But I'm not familiar enough with the build tools to know the source of the error I'm seeing.
Greping for GUILE_PKG I only found two matches, in
configure.ac and configure. Is there something else I need to setup beforehand?
As the INSTALL file seems to contain generic content, I just ran "autoreconf -vif" before. Do I need to pass in some additional arguments to autoreconf?
Thanks in advance.
