Hi Retropikzel

Perfect, works out of the box!
I missed this part in the manual, just saw that it is in chapter "Source
Properties" where I would never have guessed to look at.
Thanks very much,
Reza

Hi List

How can I get the absolute path to a source file from itself. In bash
this would look like something along the lines

     realpath $(dirname $0)

but I could not figure out how to achieve this in guile.

Thanks for any hints!
Cheers,
Reza

Hi! Might example from here:
https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/guile.html#Load-Paths-1

work?

     (dirname (current-filename))

I just want to add, that in most cases you can probably make things work using the `guile -L` argument and naming the files of guile modules according to the module defined in them. It has been a long time, since I had to reach for something like `(dirname (current-filename))`. Of course there might be cases, where you want to have that directory as a string in your code or so. I am only writing this, because it is often brought up in a context of adding things to the load path, where it should not be necessary.

For example see: https://codeberg.org/ZelphirKaltstahl/guile-algorithms/src/commit/97f29e9a9414bd068e9b6e0745a768ad64a10dac/readme.md. And if that is too much of a hassle, you could create a makefile, that runs either the program or a guile shell that has the directories added to the load path. Something like https://codeberg.org/ZelphirKaltstahl/guile-algorithms/src/commit/97f29e9a9414bd068e9b6e0745a768ad64a10dac/graphs/Makefile.

Best regards, Zelphir
