I'm not a guile-gtk developer, but I spent at least two person-days
exploring the combinatorial explosion of different ways of building
guile-gtk (each time thinking I must be doing something wrong :), so
here's some recollections that may save someone else some headache:
1. Unless the patch you mention is to make guile-gtk build against
Guile 1.7.*, I believe you need Guile 1.5.*, which is labeled
"branch_release-1-6" in CVS:
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/guile \
co -r branch_release-1-6 guile/guile-core
2. You will need a Gnome build environment -- not just a GTK one -- to
run "autogen.sh" for guile-gtk. (I had to install at least a
couple dozen new Gnome-related libraries on my Debian Sid box in
the course various build attempts, so I am not certain what the
minimum subset of Gnome libraries you will need is. If you're on
Debian Sid already, the "gnome-common" package alone may be
sufficient.)
3. Though documentation in the latest guile-gtk release states that
that it supports GTK 2 (1.3) in addition to 1.2, and you will see
various support code for 2/1.3, Ariel has since clarified that only
1.2 is supported now.
4. Under GTK 1.2 and the Guile 1.5.* CVS versions I tried, some of the
widget demos/tests result in runtime errors. (These may be
guile-gtk regressions due to Guile changes, so not necessarily
guile-gtk's fault.) Just, if/when you get runtime errors on the
examples, don't worry that it's your fault. If you have time to
debug the causes, I'm sure Ariel would appreciate patches.
