[guile-reader-devel] four issues with configure and standard-token-reader

[j]

nowadays guile-reader stopped working for me. i am using guile 2.0.11. when 
running configure, i get the error messages below.
i found a way to compile it by removing "doc" from a makefile. but it does not 
work still.
guile-reader is the basis of a source code formatter i wrote and use because it 
is so simple to add support for reading source code comments to the reader (i 
could imagine this being an option of the original reader in guile).
i looked a bit into fixing it myself but especially the autotools related code 
is difficult to debug and change for me.


1.
an error message that appears with configure:

   -c "(apply $main (cdr (command-line)))" ../src/token-readers.h

2.
a warning that appears with configure. i am not sure why it should appear since 
i am under the impression to have a standard guile installation (on arch linux):

configure: WARNING: `guilemoduledir' (/usr/share/guile/site) is different from 
`GUILE_SITE' (/usr/share/guile/site/2.0).
configure: WARNING: Make sure to adjust the `GUILE_LOAD_PATH' environment 
variable accordingly,
configure: WARNING: or re-run `configure' with 
`--with-guilemoduledir=/usr/share/guile/site/2.0'.


3.
when gnu lightning 2.0.4 or 2.1.0 is installed, configure emits:
checking for strings.h... (cached) yes
checking lightning.h usability... yes
checking lightning.h presence... yes
checking for lightning.h... yes
checking whether GNU lightning supports `jit_allocai'... no
configure: error: Your installation of GNU lightning is too old; install 1.2b 
or later.


4.
this code:
(use-modules (system reader))
(standard-token-reader (quote boolean))

when evaluated, makes guile display the following. it seems like none of the 
standard token readers works anymore for whatever reason:
