Hi Elias,
my proposal would be this:
1. we give the --emacs command line option an argument. So apl would be
started like:
* apl --emacs emacs_arg*
2. the libemacs library provides a function emacs_start() with two char
* arguments:
* void emacs_start(const char * emacs_arg, const char * lib_path)**;*
This function would replace the *function_mux(),* g*et_signature(**),*
and *eval_XXX()* functions.
*lib_path* is the absolute path to the libemacs library, which is
normally /usr/lib/apl/libemacs.so
but can be different. GNU APL calls this function once on startup.
Regarding library locations, I believe we should avoid a situation where
every package installs its own
library at their own place, leading to a scattered set of libraries. If
a component needs additional libraries
then it should install them in a standard place like /usr/lib/apl or
/usr/local/lib/apl as determined by ./configure.
I am also working on installing supporting workspaces (wslib3, 4, and 5)
there.

Thanks!
Now, I need to be able to pass an initialisation argument, as well as
a way to specify the location of the library. Any suggestion how to do
this?
As for the init parameter, I'm now passing it into the native function
(it's a single number that specifies the port number to listen to, or
-1 to use Unix domain sockets).
Regards,
Elias
