I figured that I would try and do something simple-ish to see how well I
understood the FFI. I found this GTK tutorial, written in Chez Scheme:
https://github.com/jhidding/lyonesse/blob/master/gtk-tutorial/window.scm
I just tried to replace the Chez FFI calls with Guile FFI calls.
I'm not sure how to tell GTK about a callback that is written in Guile.
I'm not sure how to pass a string to GTK ...
Cheers,
My bug-ridden source follows:
; The original code was in Chez Scheme, link below:
; https://github.com/jhidding/lyonesse/blob/master/gtk-tutorial/window.scm
; I gather that it just pops up a window?
; He didn't connect the "X" to the destroy action,
; so the window might be hard to get rid of.

I'm not sure I understand
Are you asking for a review of your code ?
Did you run this code ?
