[Chicken-users] Re: Trouble with easyffi

[bill]

Hi,

I think we're talking at cross purposes here.    I thought you meant 
when I compiled (installed) easyffi.  

I have two old programs that worked fine on Gentoo (with I believe 
chicken 3.4).   Both link into Gtk.  I have recently tried running a 
little app to test Cairo.

All of these give me no errors with I compile them.   The only error 
comes when I try to run them - the 'foreign parse' error.

On the Gtk programs most of the code is just calling scheme described 
call to Gtk.    For instance:

  #>?
    GtkWidget *gtk_hpaned_new(void);

    void gtk_widget_set_size_request(GtkWidget *widget, int width, int 
height);
  <#

which are used thus in chicken:

    (define hpane   (gtk_hpaned_new))  
    (gtk_widget_set_size_request hpane 1200 650))

Some of the code is actual C code snippets that are defined as this:

  #>!

 char *get_text(GtkTextBuffer *tbuffer)
 {
   GtkTextIter s_iter;
   GtkTextIter e_iter;

   gtk_text_buffer_get_start_iter(tbuffer, &s_iter);
   gtk_text_buffer_get_end_iter(tbuffer, &e_iter);
  
   return gtk_text_buffer_get_text(tbuffer, &s_iter, &e_iter, FALSE);
 }

 <#


If this does not help, I can put together a small app that I can send 
you.    One of the failing programs is my own editor and a bit too big 
to send - although I have no qualms in doing  so.

Again, all of this worked before moving to Xubunto and Chicken 4.0.    
Could some library be missing?
