hello, I'm interested in prototyping an application with gnome-clutter and Guile.
This application will probably be a C application that embedds Guile. (I've tried many other approaches* but they fail so lets discuss this particular scenario) Anyway, the problem is that clutter needs its own event loop, clutter-main, so then I can't simply use the Guile REPL as I'd like. So these appear to be my choices and I'd appreciate help selecting a good approach: - Don't use the REPL as is, instead make the C application call the Guile evaluation routines. Then I must decide things in advance and can't use explorative programming - Make separate threads for the REPL and Clutter. Then I get boring thread synchronisation issues. It seems guile-gnome-platform take the first approach. *) Ideally I'd like no C and only Guile. I've mostly tried different ways to interface to Clutter from Guile. I hacked guile-clutter until it compiled but then it didn't want to runtime link. I tried Sbank, but it didn't work with guile. I also tried guile-gir, but it didn't work too well either. So until any of these other approaches pan out I can embedd guile. -- Joakim Verona
