guile-wayland

Guile-Wayland is library that provides access to the Wayland Protocol for programs written in GNU Guile Scheme.

Features

The main feature is auto-generating Guile Code (GOOPs classes) from Wayland’s XML descriptions, minimizing direct C interop. See (@@ (wayland scanner) use-wayland-protocol)
To simplify this a separate library guile-bytestructure-class was written. It’s based on scheme-bytestructures

Requirements
