Is there a release of guile-gnome which works with guile 2?

Hello Diogo,

> Is there a release of guile-gnome which works with guile 2?

Yes, here a the link to the latest tarball:

	http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/guile-gnome/guile-gnome-platform/guile-gnome-platform-2.16.2.tar.gz

Obviously, there a re dependencies 

	http://www.gnu.org/software/guile-gnome/dev/

Personally, I'd rather build from a git clone, because there has been [some not
fundamental but still...] changes since [the latest tarball release].

Cheers,
David

Thank you, David.

I tried compiling it, but without luck, so I was unsure.

First, I had to do a minor fix to the configure script of g-wrap so the
warnings about deprecation would not halt the compilation.

Second, with the guile-gnome tarball you referenced, it errors
complaining that only `glib.h' can be included directly, so the
compilation stops.

Yes indeed you'd need to configure like this:

	./configured --disable-Werror

That probably is because the '-dev' files/packages are not installed on your
machine. I am on debian it is the libglib2.0-dev package.

Thanks again.

I do have libglib2.0-dev installed here, so I don't think this is it.

The complained file is `/glib/gnome/gobject/guile-support.h', line 27.
One can see that it is indeed including something other than `glib.h',
in this case, `glib/gmacros.h', which `gmacros.h' doesn't like and has a
specific #if for this.

Sorry, indeed I miss read your message.

I still think it is a dependency problem though, but I am a 'user', and do not know
the details as well as developers of course. 

I suggest you send a compressed version of your config.log and an extract of the
latest lines of the make... Did g-wrap and guile-cairo configure/make/install ok?

I personally install[ed] the all suite from git [guile, g-wrap, guile-cairo and
guile-gnome] because even just for guile, debian is too outdated for my needs [and
guile-cairo has been updated to allow me to run guile-clutter] ... If you are on
debian, and if you are interested, I wrote a small .org help for myself, that I'd
happy to share [no warranty :), it is not properly formated, nor complete ... it is
ok 'for me' :)].

Cheers,
David

ps:	you may want to join us on #guile @ freenode, I am sure there will be
other guilers willing to help you too, but I am regularly there too and for quick
quiz it's faster ...

This is due to recent Glib only allowing glib.h to be included directly.
Any old program which does this will get this compilation error. So, the
solution for you would be to find all occurences in guile-gnome where
another Glib header is included and remove it (or replace it with glib.h
if needed). But maybe this was already done in Git?

Best regards.

yes, it has been fixed in git, see f37f03bb957701d80a1c3977b3f0f3995b6ec655
