All of them depend on the same (small) library, the one under the 'lib' subdirectory; additionally: all the pipe port extensions depend on the same library (the one under the 'ende' directory), and that one does not depend on Guile: it can be used in other C libraries. In this situation, and being in the early stages of development, having a single package makes it easy for me to automatically test all the code at each change in the common code. However I'm not sure that 15 packages (with dependeces) would make it easy for the Guile user. >For GNU libraries, the bindings could even be >included upstream I guess, which would be very >beneficial to Guile users. Ideally this could happen. And I think that, especially for some of the (non GNU) math extensions, it would make testing easier for the upstream develpers, too.

Does your >set of bindings provide additional functionalities It exposes integer functions not exposed by Guile, like the number theoretic ones; it also exposes MPF functions (but I have to review that code). -- Marco Maggi _______________________________________________ Guile-user mailing list Guile-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-user
