[Chicken-users] Conflict between easyffi and syntax-case

[William Ramsay]

Hello again,

I am trying to  use  macros  with a program  that  requires  some C 
functions.   But when I "require-extension syntax-case" and extend 
easyffi I get compile errors.    If I eliminate either one the code 
compiles fine.   (I am also using the xlib egg in my program).

While I'm at it I might as well add that I'm having some problems with 
xlib - probably because I don't know what I'm doing.

For instance:      (let
                             ((d-atom (xinternatom (display, 
"WM_DELETE_WINDOW", 0)

creates a proper atom.     However it's a long.

If I try to call   (xsetwmprotocols  display  window  d-atom 1) I get an 
error because  xsetwmprotocols wants a pointer, not a long.  How do I 
represent the address of d-atom in Scheme - is that even possible?     
(If I can figure out how to do this I could probably eliminate the need 
for easyffi and solve my macro problem)  

Is programming fun or what!!!
