I've started a project to create ocaml bindings for clutter. I have no idea how much interest there might be for ocaml bindings (other than myself), but I should double-check that nobody has undertaken such a project.

Currently, I'm just hosting it as a mercurial depot on freehg.org. Once I get it to a usable state, I would be willing to port it into the main clutter SVN depot *if* that is the desire of the project maintainers. It can also happily sit as a side project in perpetuity.

I'm developing on Mac and targeting the stable 0.6 release as a starting point. Actually, I don't really have a choice because I haven't successfully completed the "configure" stage of building 0.7 (some X11 extension problems I think), so I'm using the Macports version of clutter-0.6 and clutter-cairo-0.6. At some point, I would prefer to switch to targeting 0.7 in hopes of completing the bindings in time for the 0.8 release.

Anyhoo, I don't anticipate any major questions or issues, but who knows. I might want to get in touch with your Macports jedi if I can't debug my build problems; but there's no rush for that and my answers may lie in the mailing list archives etc.

If anybody would like to follow progress or get a copy, please let me know. However, its not in a usable state as of yet. I'm starting by just slowly porting some simple demo applications etc. before taking on the bulk of the API. This is just a side project that is of interest to me, so no promises about completeness, correctness, or long-term maintenance.... yet.

Regards
