hi,
i'm a relatively newcomer to guile. i've managed to compile it from the
cvs tree without much trouble on a FreeBSD 4.5 box, with an exception:
readline support seems to be not available: i would appreciate any clue
about how to enable it! (btw, readline support is also missing from the
guile 1.4 freebsd 'official' port).
i've been playing with guile-gtk a little, and have look for guile
bindings for (the excellent) libglade, without luck: do they exist? or
is anyone working on them? if not, i would be willing to try my hand at
them. i'm fluent in c/c++, and have used guile a little (i'm the
maintainer and developer of GNU MDK [0], which uses guile as its extension
language; so, i know how to embed a guile interpreter in a c app, and
how to write little extensions). so:
- would you find interesting having libglade bindings?
- i've read the HACKING file. are there any other recommended readings
before starting to hack in guile?
- i would really appreciate any guideline/advice on where to start if i
want to write the above mentioned bindings; also if you think that
this task is not really adequate for a newcomer (too complex, too big
or whatever), i will be glad to hear your admonitions! :-)
thanks a lot for your great work with guile: it's a really useful piece
of software, no mistake.
best regards,
jao
