I have no ideas how to support the development of packages for Guile * There is now some code at
that can be dynamically linked into a running application. Maybe
automake can be used to automate most of the issues.
One nice thing is, however, that developers and users of Guile http//www-nt.e-technik.uni-dortmund.de/m_mvo/guile-ffi-970501.tar.gz
packages have already installed Guile. So we might able to use Scheme
to describe and handle the build process. I would like that much more
than the arcane shell based implementations of autoconf, automake,
etc.
One more random thought about packages: I think it would be an but it doesn't address G-Wrap.
advantage if the configuration informations are not contained in a
bunch of files (like the PLUGIN stuff, or like tclConfig.sh) that have
to be found and analyzed, but rather can be accessed via a small
program that can be assumed to be in the PATH. That program (probably
a shell script, but not necessarily) can be queried about several
interesting things like prefix and exec_prefix of libguile or told to
do some tasks like installing a new module (and constructing a new
guile executable if that is necessary). It might even be used for such
generic things as uninstalling Guile (or downloading, configuring,
building and installing the latest version of Guile...)
