Description
. . . . . :info:configure checking for GUILE... no :info:configure checking for GUILE... no :info:configure configure: error: you need at least version 1.8.0 of guile . . . . .
while
$ port installed guile The following ports are currently installed: guile @2.2.2_0 (active) $
It's MacOS X 10.11.6 with Xcode-8.2 - but that's probably irrelevant. The fault is with the geda-gaf configurator that doesn't consider guile-2.2 as a valid guile installation.

On my machine the following quick-n-dirty addition allowed the build to proceed against guile 2.2.2 through to near the end
configure.env-append GUILE_CFLAGS="-D_THREAD_SAFE -I/opt/local/include/guile/2.2 -I/opt/local/include" configure.env-append GUILE_LIBS="-L/opt/local/lib -lguile-2.2 -lgc"
but unfortunately it died in the link stage
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
"_scm_internal_stack_catch", referenced from:
_parse_commandline in gnetlist-parsecmd.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
and here there may be no happiness coming, because that function was declared deprecated some time back, and it has most likely been removed from guile-2.2.
SO - you can peg guile at guile 2.0.14 (probably what I would do), or go looking for an update to geda-gaf.
To that end, I notice there is an unstable branch of 1.9.2 <http://wiki.geda-project.org/geda:download> and there's the tip of the dev tree at <http://git.geda-project.org/geda-gaf/>. I didn't notice any references to either guile 2.2 or scm_internal_stack_catch, but you might get lucky I suppose.

Ah, there is another method, I see. It is possible to make geda-gaf build with guile18, and there is such a port just now on MacPorts. I have this built, installed, and apparently working, but I don't know enough about geda-gaf to say if it works properly and as it should. I can put this up for you to try out and see what you think about it.

I'm cool with this. I didn't realize that was an option, it's been driving me NUTS. I don't like that we have to use ancient guile, but eh. It builds now!

And I can confirm 1.9.2 does not compile with guile 2.2 - I've been wanting to update forever.
Also it's sad, but it seems development on geda-gaf has stalled a bit. It's not dead, but it's not what it used to be.

If you have time someday, please feel free to post up a little "how to set up geda-gaf" in macports note. This seems to work (you tell me) but I get error boxes for missing configs and the object libraries don't populate. I think it's not guile18. but the setup.
when updating, it'll be more of a PITA because that libguile18.h header will need a repatch most likely. --K
