<spk121>For me, make distcheck is broken because the directory where ".version-t" is supposed to go is read only. Does anyone else have this problem

<sneek>Welcome back spk121, you have 1 message!

<sneek>spk121, janneke says: have you seen: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-devel/2023-10/msg00051.html ?

<spk121>lol, I guess I haven't said anything for two years. Thanks sneek.

<janneke>spk121: haha, sneek comes with a two year old message and the mail it points to starts with "I'm sorry for "necrobumping" this thread;"

<janneke>sneek: botsnack

<sneek>:)

<ArneBab>anemofilia: nice!

<ArneBab>anemofilia: if you look at that more deeply you can actually get the full "set a breakpoint, continue after fixing" workflow running — and add live adjustments beyond what you get in most other languages.

<ArneBab>anemofilia: you may want to set all your modules #:declarative #f, though. Then you can always change top-level bindings

<lechner>Hi, I'm trying to use gdb with Guile. Is there a guide somewhere? Thanks!

<lechner>I'm on Guix

<dsmith>lechner, Not sure how out-of-date it is, but the HACKING file mentions a gdb init file

<dsmith>lechner, ./gdbinit in the guile source tree

<dsmith>lechner, Also, there is ./meta/gdb-uninstalled-guile

<spk121>Yeah, I'm pretty sure make distcheck is broken because it tries to build .version in $top_srcdir. Changing it to $top_builddir makes make distcheck work again.

<dsmith>spk121, Nice

<df>lechner: if I install guile:debug on guix, gdb appears to behave as described here: https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/GDB-Support.html

<df>so for example if I start and attach to a repl, I see in the backtrace stuff like #<port #<port-type file 7fc032e07b40> 7fc032e41580>

<lechner>dsmith / thanks!

<lechner>df / thanks! that was probably missing here
