Whatever happened to the Guile<->Tk interface?

Whatever happened to the Guile<->Tk interface?

[Roland Besserer]

Hi,

I just started Switching over to guile from tcl/tk and python 
environments. I'm in the process of getting greg running with the latest 
1.6.4 release so I can also move some dejagnu (aka expect) based test 
scripts to greg/guile.

I would like to be able to continue using the tk user interface with 
guile. Searching for guile/tk interfaces I found a number of references 
to older interfaces and numerous quotes that a tk binding comes with the 
standard guile release. Well, what happened to it because it is not 
mentioned in the 1.6 reference manual and I sure can't find it?

Regards

roland

The standard guile release no longer comes with a tk interface.

There is a tcltk/tk interface at the guile CVS repository in the
module guile-tcltk.  This interface, however, only supports tcl7.6 and
tk4.2.  You can find a tar archive with this interface and .deb
packages for the required tcl/tk libraries here:

I'd very much like to see this interface upgraded to the latest tcl/tk
libraries.  Anyone?  :-)
