Short: Interpreter for Scheme, packaged as a library Author: Aubrey Jaffer * & Diego Casorran Uploader: dcr8520 amiga org Type: dev/gg Version: 1.4.1 Requires: gcc Architecture: m68k-amigaos ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package comes from http://Amiga.SourceForge.net ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is version 1.4 of Guile, Project GNU's extension language library. Guile is an interpreter for Scheme, packaged as a library that you can link into your applications to give them their own scripting language. Guile will eventually support other languages as well, giving users of Guile-based applications a choice of languages. Please send bug reports to bug-guile@gnu.org. Guile Documentation ================================================== The doc directory contains a few articles on specific topics and some examples, including data-rep.texi which describes the internal representation of data types in Guile. The example-smob directory contains example source code for the "Defining New Types (Smobs)" chapter. The incomplete Guile reference manual is available at ftp://ftp.red-bean.com/pub/guile/snapshots/guile-doc-snap.tar.gz Neil Jerram is working on the new reference manual, which will be distributed with guile-core. The new manual will be synchronized with the docstrings in the sources. Until then, please be aware that the docstrings are likely to be more up-to-date than the old reference manual (use `(help)' or see libguile/guile-procedures.txt which is generated by the build process). The Guile WWW page is at http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/guile.html It contains a link to the Guile FAQ. Guile License ================================================== The license of Guile consists of the GNU GPL plus a special statement giving blanket permission to link with non-free software. This is the license statement as found in any individual file that it applies to: This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2, or (at your option) any later version.

If not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA As a special exception, the Free Software Foundation gives permission for additional uses of the text contained in its release of GUILE. The exception is that, if you link the GUILE library with other files to produce an executable, this does not by itself cause the resulting executable to be covered by the GNU General Public License. Your use of that executable is in no way restricted on account of linking the GUILE library code into it. This exception does not however invalidate any other reasons why the executable file might be covered by the GNU General Public License. This exception applies only to the code released by the Free Software Foundation under the name GUILE. If you copy code from other Free Software Foundation releases into a copy of GUILE, as the General Public License permits, the exception does not apply to the code that you add in this way. To avoid misleading anyone as to the status of such modified files, you must delete this exception notice from them. If you write modifications of your own for GUILE, it is your choice whether to permit this exception to apply to your modifications. If you do not wish that, delete this exception notice. About This Distribution ============================================== Interesting files include: - INSTALL, which contains instructions on building and installing Guile. - NEWS, which describes user-visible changes since the last release of Guile. Files are usually installed according to the prefix specified to configure, /usr/local by default. Building and installing gives you: Executables, in ${prefix}/bin: guile --- a stand-alone interpreter for Guile. With no arguments, this is a simple interactive Scheme interpreter. It can also be used as an interpreter for script files; see the NEWS file for details. guile-config --- a Guile script which provides the information necessary to link your programs against the Guile library. guile-snarf --- a script to parse declarations in your C code for Scheme-visible C functions, Scheme objects to be used by C code, etc. Libraries, in ${prefix}/lib. Depending on the platform and options given to configure, you may get shared libraries in addition to or instead of these static libraries: libguile.a --- an object library containing the Guile interpreter, You can use Guile in your own programs by linking against this. libqthreads.a --- an object library containing the QuickThreads primitives. If you enabled thread support when you configured Guile, you will need to link your code against this too. libguilereadline.a --- an object library containing glue code for the GNU readline library. See NEWS for instructions on how to enable readline for your personal use. Header files, in ${prefix}/include: libguile.h, guile/gh.h, libguile/*.h --- for libguile. guile-readline/readline.h --- for guile-readline. Support files, in ${prefix}/share/guile/: ice-9/* --- run-time support for Guile: the module system, read-eval-print loop, some R4RS code and other infrastructure. Automake macros, in ${prefix}/share/aclocal: guile.m4 Documentation in Info format, in ${prefix}/info: data-rep.info --- an essay on how to write C code that works with Guile Scheme values. The Guile source tree is laid out as follows: libguile: The Guile Scheme interpreter --- both the object library for you to link with your programs, and the executable you can run. ice-9: Guile's module system, initialization code, and other infrastructure. guile-config: Source for the guile-config script. qt: A cooperative threads package from the University of Washington, which Guile can use. If you configure Guile with the --with-threads flag, you will need to link against the -lqt library, found in this directory. Qt is under a separate copyright; see `qt/README' for more details. guile-readline: The glue code for using GNU readline with Guile. This will be build when configure can find a recent enough readline library on your system. doc: Documentation (see above). Anonymous CVS Access and FTP snapshots =============================== We make the developers' working Guile sources available via anonymous CVS, and by nightly snapshots, accessible via FTP. See the files `ANON-CVS' and `SNAPSHOTS' for details. If you would like to receive mail when people commit changes to the Guile CVS repository, you can subscribe to guile-cvs@sourceware.cygnus.com by sending a message to guile-cvs-subscribe@sourceware.cygnus.com. Even better, you can get daily digests of these commit messages by sending a message to guile-cvs-digest-subscribe@sourceware.cygnus.com. If you want to subscribe an e-mail address other than the one that appears in your From: header, say foo@bar.com, send a mail note to guile-cvs-subscribe-foo=bar.com@sourceware.cygnus.com. Obtaining Guile ====================================================== The latest official Guile release is available via anonymous FTP from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/guile/guile-1.4.tar.gz The mailing list `guile@sourceware.cygnus.com' carries discussions, questions, and often answers, about Guile. To subscribe, send mail to guile-subscribe@sourceware.cygnus.com. Of course, please send bug reports (and fixes!) to bug-guile@gnu.org. Note that one address is @sourceware.cygnus.com, and the other is at @gnu.org. ·············································A·r·c·h·i·v·e··C·o·n·t·e·n·t·s·· LhA Freeware Version 2.2 Copyright © 1991-94 by Stefan Boberg.
