The files end up in profile/share/guile-gnome-2/... which is not in 
guiles load path.

The result of running the examples:
(first get it with guix build --source)


$ guile -s hello.scm

Hi

I would really like to start creating my first gtk program with guile.

The package guile-gnome in guix is unfortunately broken and the docs and 
examples are missing.

I tried fixing the package but it seems I do not understand gtk nor 
autotools well enough to succeed.

I got these questions:

* why are there no TARGET_DIR in the makefiles?
* what is the purpose of the "guilesite" variable?
* what is the purpose of the files in /defs/gnome/defs ? The makefile 
there seems to try to check for stuff in DEFS_HEADER_DIR = /usr/include

Thanks in advance.

Trying to set the right load path results in this error:

I found the error!

Guile-gnome installs in such a way that it only works if you run it like
this: guile-gnome2 -s hello.scm

This seems undocumented and was unexpected. I expected "guile -s" to be
able to run also the modules installed by guile-gnome.

Should we add a note somewhere to avoid confusion and/or inform upstream
about this non-standard behavior?
