Throwing out old dynamic link code (changes static linking!)

Throwing out old dynamic link code (changes static linking!)

[Marius Vollmer]

Hi,

I like to throw out the old dynamic linking code in guile-gtk for
good.  CVS guile-gtk is tied to a very recent CVS Guile anyway (which
is not bad for now, but it should probably be loosened once
guile-1.6.0 is out).

Opinions?

I am now getting:
Starting program: /usr/local/bin/guile-gtk 

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Running guile and loadin (gtk gtk) works fine tho'

Ohh, ahh, sorry.  To fix this, you need a recent Guile from CVS.  It
should have this ChangeLog entry:

2001-06-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* extensions.c (scm_c_register_extension): Allow NULL as library
	name.
	(load_extension): Ignore NULL library names when comparing.

Yep.  What about throwing out `guile-gtk' as well (or demote it to an
example)?  With dynamic linking working reasonably well, and threads,
we ought not to need it any more.  I certainly didn't use it for quite
some time.
