Hello,

I'd like to create a Guile Scheme project linking to a C library, Freexl.

I copied guile-gcrypt, it does exactly that

Then I changed all thhe occurrences of "gcrypt" to "freexl"

But when I run configure in guile-gcrypt I get

checking for guile-config... /home/me/.guix-profile/bin/guile-config
checking for libgcrypt-config...
/gnu/store/1y54p19lvz3rh6a5dyynnffn9dbal2li-profile/bin/libgcrypt-config
checking libgcrypt's library directory...
/gnu/store/hag795ji8p9vqikwp8cibfibpsa39s3n-libgcrypt-1.7.6/lib
checking for libgcrypt shared library name...
/gnu/store/hag795ji8p9vqikwp8cibfibpsa39s3n-libgcrypt-1.7.6/lib/libgcrypt


As you can see it checks that "...bin/libgcrypt-config" is present AND it
checks the "shared library name"


But when I run it in my guile-freexl II get

checking for guile-config... /home/me.guix-profile/bin/guile-config
checking for freexl shared library name...
/gnu/store/13p9jpf8gp3mg414az1dsf59vw2hyyw2-profile/lib/libfreexl

as you can see it DOESN'T look for any ...bin/freexl-config AND it doesn't
look for the library shared name

why ?

It is substantially the same repo, I cloned it and changed the strings
"gcrypt" to "freexl"

That's all I did

Thanks in advance

You should ask on the Guile and maybe Guix mailing lists. Also, nobody
can help you if you do not provide links to code that people can browse.

thank you so much for your reply

This is my attempt (it doesn't find freexl)
https://gitlab.com/humanitiesNerd/guile-freexl

And this is guile-gcrypt (it works like a charm)
