freebsd gmake error : Unbound variable: macro-gc-hash-table-flag-weak-keys

[devosalain]

gmake -j4 fails on freebsd with the error :

updating gerbil version
... write /home/x/Dirs/Git_Apps/gerbil/src/gerbil/runtime/version.ss
compiling gerbil core
*** ERROR IN "../bootstrap/lib/gerbil/runtime/table~0.scm"@2234.9 -- Unbound variable: macro-gc-hash-table-flag-weak-keys

I used to compile fine previously

interesting, is this with the pinned gambit version or some other version?

[devosalain]

Just did a git clone & git pull.

Clone from when? Pull from when? Did you pull right after a clone? Why do that? :) Or: What version of Gambit are you using to build? Is it the pinned version? Here's how to find out, in the gerbil source directory. First, this is what the tag should be: $ grep default_gambit_tag= ./configure readonly default_gambit_tag=09335d95cab6931791c0a8497cbe915053ff8af3 If you've already configured this it should have cloned and checked out the same tag. It was updated in April. IE: https://github.com/mighty-gerbils/gerbil/blob/master/configure#L75 $ echo $(cd src/gambit; git log -1 | head -n1) commit 09335d95cab6931791c0a8497cbe915053ff8af3 If those are both the same and both the same number that matches the tag then it's an issue on our side and/or gambit's freebsd config. If not, try `rm -rf build-env.sh src/gambit/* && ./configure` to make sure you're not trying to mix old and new.

After rm -rf build-env.sh src/gambit/* && ./configure i got the same error.
My guess it's not the gerbil version but some sort of incompatibility between freebsd & gerbil which was introduced recently.

[drewc]

Did you `make clean` beforehand? Regardless, try that, try a fresh clone checkout, and make sure there's no existing gambit or gerbil anywhere in your $PATH. What version of freebsd? If it fails with a fresh clone on a fresh system with clean $PATHs I'll fire up a FreeBSD VM and we can go from there.

export PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
git clone https://github.com/mighty-gerbils/gerbil.git
cd gerbil
gmake clean
./configure
gmake -j4

@ober as the bsd czar, any idea what is going on here?

[ober]

https://gist.github.com/ober/642cf0aee95a29fbb8a14391a2511508 This is how I build it. No gmake, and no -jN.
Make sure you have no existing gerbil/gambit installed anywhere in the path as well.

[devosalain]

Thanks. That worked.
