I've just taken a quick look at Ruby and it seems to be a interpreted
language (like Tcl), which is not really what we need: what we need is
some tool that connects (one or more) scripting languages up to a C
program. Swig is this - I have run Denemo from a script in Tcl (it could
have been Ruby) - but what we want to do is run a script from Denemo.
There appears stuff in guile for doing this, but it will take a bit of
working through the reference I have found is this:
http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/docs/guile-tut/tutorial.html
this seems to cover our case. (It starts off with the scheme calls
denemo but seems to go on to denemo calls scheme).
But it will need working through. I see no friendly swig type offer to
take an interface file and give you a working system, but I think it is
all there. We would need to write some output from generate_source.c to
do the trick.
Have a look and see what you think.
