Are there any bindings for graphical tool kits such as FLTK or TK? The only set of bindings are for GNOME and I am not a fan of GNOME. Nor to I wish to install all the dependencies that GNOME relies on (OK, I am an old unix guy and I normally just install enlightenment, so I don't have GNOME installed - call em weird).
If one were to be inclined to create such a binding to FLTK, what would be the method that one would take? From reading section on "Foreign Function Interface" in the guile docs I think it could be most easily done as follows: for the C++ calls I would use the 'extern "c"' declaration to create c functions for each call in the FLTK API and since C doesn't have function overloading where the C++ method is overloaded the function name would have to be modified to allow for multiple C functions that call the overloaded C++ functions. For the guile interface each function in the above interface would have to have a top level guile object like (define fltk-func (pointer->procedure ....)) to create the guile interface to the C defined interface. So, here;s my question. As outlined above, is this the best way to provide an API for FLTK? -- “Many people, especially ignorant people, want to punish you for speaking the truth, for being correct, for being you.
