problems building stable branch

[Jan Nieuwenhuizen]

Hi List,

I'm tracking Guile cvs irregularly, so that we're sure that LilyPond
stays compatible with latest guile development.  However, I've
considerable problems building latest stable branch.  (I had similar
problems with the development branch, but switched to stable as I
guessed they would be fixed there.)

In short: running autogen.sh is not documented in INSTALL, it doesn't
seem to do it's job, and 'make all' seems to have a circular
dependency on latest guile executable itself.  I guess that first the
guile executable should be built, and that one should be used to 'make
all' in ice-9.  Then there's a fair share of the usual
automake/libtool (I'm soo glad we dropped these tools) troubles.

Greetings,
Jan.

Here's what I did to build it:

13:27:27 appel ~/usr/src/guile$ cvs -z3 co -r branch_release-1-6 guile-core
[..]

INSTALL:
To build Guile on unix, there are two basic steps:

        1. Type "./configure", to configure the package for your system.
        2. Type "make", to build the package.


13:28:43 appel ~/usr/src/guile/guile-core$ ./configure
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

13:29:00 appel ~/usr/src/guile/guile-core$ ./autogen.sh 
autoheader2.50: libguile/scmconfig.h.in is unchanged
automake: no `Makefile.am' found or specified
guile-readline...
automake: no `Makefile.am' found or specified
Now run configure and make.
You must pass the `--enable-maintainer-mode' option to configure.

13:32:03 appel ~/usr/src/guile/guile-core$ automake $(find . -name Makefile.am
