That's a bit complex: guile-gtk wraps gtk-1.2 only, and is quite stable. Inexplicably, there are no releases or tarballs available. I made my own from CVS so I could make a pkgsrc entry. I am aware of no plans to upgrade guile-gtk for gtk-2.0. guile-gnome wraps gtk-2 and also gnome, and can do CORBA from ORBit-2's imodule files. So it really does something far more than what guile-gtk does. I am using guile-gnome for a new project, since guile-gtk is both static and wraps obsolete/deprecated libs. guile-gnome is not yet stable, but seems very close. I was able to port a program that used guile-gtk to guile-gnome very quickly. -- Greg Troxel _______________________________________________ Guile-user mailing list Guile-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-user
