[ANN] gucu: guile ncurses v0.1

2008-06-03 Thread Mike Gran
Hi-

I've updated a Guile library that wraps most of the ncurses library.

This release adds wrappers for the forms and panel libraries.  It is still an 
alpha: documentation for form, panel, and menu libraries are incomplete; test 
suite is incomplete for form, panel and menu libraries.

It lives at http://gano.sourceforge.net/

It works for me on GNU/Linux and Cygwin.

Thanks,

Mike Gran

The documentation already looks quite large, which is nice!

Is the forum also accessible as a mailing list, or could it be made so?

Thanks,
Ludovic.

Dale Smith on IRC noted that Martin Grabmüller once wrote a skeleton for
Guile extensions written in C:

  http://uebb.cs.tu-berlin.de/~magr/guile/guile-extension-0.0.1.tar.gz

It has a `convert.sh' script that automatically sets up the basic
package environment for you.  For instance, running "./convert.sh foo"
creates a `guile-foo' package, with C stubs in `foo.c' and `foo.h'.

There are also Guile bindings for many libraries that you could use as a
starting point, although it won't be as straightforward as running a
script.

Thanks,
Ludovic.

I thought SF also allowed you to create mailing lists, hence my
question.

Yeah, but they appeared to be worthy reading, which is why I'd be happy
to follow it with my favorite mail or news reader.  :-)

Thanks,

It is true that Sourceforge forums are terrible. The bug tracker is okay, 
though.

I'm hesitant to do much beyond what Sourceforge provides, since this project 
will always have extremely limited appeal.

You might have noted that every message in the forum is written by me, and 
occasionally replied to by me.   I do it solely to keep my activity rating

Doh!  I disabled that feature so long ago, I'd forgotton its existence.
