Customizing the build

The user might want to provide custom options to the .configure step when building guile from source. For example, when installing on MacOS one might prefer to supply Homebrew manged dependencies to the compilation process - like libgmp, readline, etc. If present, asdf-guile reads the $GUILE_CONFIG_OPTIONS env var and passes these to the ./configure step of the build process during installation.

For example, the following command builds guile v3.0.9 from source and uses the Homebrew managed versions of readline, gmp, etc during the compilation process.

GUILE_CONFIG_OPTIONS="--libdir=$(brew --prefix)/lib" asdf install guile 3.0.9
