Subject: Coexistence of different Guile versions
Date: Sun, 10 Mar 2019 17:23:05 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8f94c78c-f947-e81c-df14-c9bb1d7fc376@gmail.com> (raw)
Guile (at least the Debian version) is designed so that different
versions (e.g. 2.0 and 2.2) can coexist in the same system. However,
this is not so for packages guile-xxx-dev. Consequently, many software
libraries (such as guile-gnome-platform) have to be compiled for a
single Guile version and they can't be used for several Guile versions
in the same system.
Could this be changed? For example, we could rename libguile.h to
libguile-<version>.h and do the same for Guile libraries.
