Guile-gi does not install in the latest stable version of Guile #129

Unlike most other modules I use, guile-gi does not seem to install in the latest stable version of Guile on my machine. I am running on Arch Linux meaning I have to have two version of guile installed: 2.2, and 3.0. This is because 3.0 is not in the official Arch Linux so I have to install guile3 from the AUR but I still need to keep guile2 in order to satisfy dependencies.

I am not familiar with how autotools work but I have noticed that most modules have an m4 directory containing a guile.m4 file where GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION seems to be set. However, in this repository there seems to be no guile.m4 file.

The guile.m4 file is part of Guile's distribution and should thus be included in the guile3 AUR package. IIUC, the problem is that your guile2.2 installation appears to be taking precedence – thus, guile-gi will be configured for guile-2.2. Thus, if you want guile-3.0, you should arrange it so that it shadows guile-2.2 as you're running configure.
