For core Guile no, I guess not.  But I would personally like a
Hildon-enhanced guile-gnome as well, so that I can play with writing
small graphical apps.  I think this means adding defs for the Hildon
API to the existing gtk/gnome defs, and then rebuilding guile-gnome.

I see that the PyMaemo people have already prepared a load of Hildon
.defs files.  Does anyone know whether these are valid verbatim for
guile-gnome as well?

Did you have to build GMP first?  Perhaps GMP is already included in
the Maemo env.

We'd want to end up with .debs, yes.  Do you already have these?
(I've never done this before myself; my impression is that the process
is a bit fiddly, but not too hard.)

I wouldn't expect anything to need porting except for the Hildon API
graphical stuff mentioned above.

Thanks for your reply!
