New guile-gtk

[Ariel Rios]

Marius,
I had also been thinking to have a new guile-gtk version soon.
I propose to release 0.18 on Friday so we can have time to update
homepages, mirros and documentation. Also I want to have another
gnome-guile release to sync with new guile-gtk and to include the new GtkHTML
API changes.

Ok!  We should make sure that guile-gtk-0.18 works with guile-1.3.4
and the latest CVS version, however.  I'll test this, but it can't
hurt, if you test it too. ;)

OK, I've just tried the CVS guile-gtk on SunOS 5.7 with gtk 1.2.3 and
guile 1.3.4.

It configures and builds OK.  But when running, how can I be sure that I'm
testing all of the new libraries and *.scm files when I've still got an
older guile-gtk installed in /usr/local?  (It is in production use, so I'd
rather not delete or overwrite it until I've tested 0.18)

Would it be possible to add to guile-gtk.c a procedure or symbol
guile-gtk-version that returns "0.18" (or whatever VERSION is defined to) ?

thanks!
Steve

Hmm, you should install it in some other place and make sure
LD_LIBRARY_PATH and GUILE_LOAD_PATH point to it in the right way.  For
example, when you have installed it in /tmp/018, you would need these
settings:

    LD_LIBRARY_PATH = /tmp/018/lib
    GUILE_LOAD_PATH = /tmp/018/share/guile

However, I'm not too sure about this.  I don't know how you can check
what libraries a process is using on SunOS.  On Linux, you would look
in /proc/<pid>/maps.

There will be such a thing in 0.18 (it already is in CVS). You can do

    (use-modules (gtk config))

    (if (string=? gtkconf-guile-gtk-version "0.18")
        ...)

After doing this, I can confirm that things work on Solaris (SunOS 5.7);
the "ldd" commands shows what libraries a binary will use, same as on
Linux.

Great! For this sort of testing, it turns out that checking this is
essential for verifying that you've set up GUILE_LOAD_PATH correctly.
Belive it or not, things seem to work fairly well with a mix of latest-CVS
binaries/.so files and 0.17 .scm files.
