Ok, I've had a look at x-scm. Looks like a pretty low level interface, but hopefully it will save me having to solve all the hard problems. I'll try and build a Tiny Clos interface on top. I hope guile gets a standard OO system soon... merry::satchell@hermes.dra.hmg.gb on 10/22/98 07:21:50 PM To: guile@cygnus.com cc: (bcc: Chris Bitmead/CHA) Subject: Re: Motif Port. There is already a fairly rough Motif/Lesstif port in the contrib directory. This is called xguile, and is more or less a just a file of prepocessor cruft to make xscm work with guile rather than scm. scm and guile are close enough that this works. It needs a bit of updating to work with 1.3, mostly that scm_gen_puts went away in favour of scm_puts. You still need to download xscm from somewhere. I would not blame anybody from running away screaming when they see it. When I get some time for the paper work, I hope to get a new version out. This now has the co-op threads integrated with the Xt event loop, support for a few more X primitives, extra useful bits of Xt (like XtAppAddInput {dont you just love those funky '80s capitals}), and bindings for the SciPlot widget. It now works correctly as a dynamically loadable module. Start up time has been enormously improved by replacing the old scheme initialisation code with C. I will also attempt to sort out the configure/automake mess needed to get this to build out of the box. Julian Satchell <satchell@dera.gov.uk>
