Sorry for such late response, I gave it up after a while:) But..
One more try on this:

$ make

  <snip>

  Guile/Glue/glue.cpp:233:31: error: cannot convert ‘SCM {aka
  scm_unused_struct*}’ to ‘const char*’ for argument ‘1’ to ‘scm_unused_struct*
  scm_str2string(const char*)’

  <snip>

  Guile/Glue/glue.cpp:1267:46: error: invalid conversion from ‘FN {aka
  scm_unused_struct* (*)()}’ to ‘scm_t_subr {aka void*}’ [-fpermissive]

  <snip>

Again, tons of errors like those two above, and I expect there will be more
like that.

glue.cpp:233 looks like this:
    char* _r= scm_scm2str (s, &len_r); // my comment - s is declared as SCM

glue.cpp:1267:
   scm_new_procedure ("tree?", (FN) treeP, 1, 0, 0);

I'm aware that C++ is pretty strict about casting. Is there any way I could fix
those? I guess that if it is possible to bend g++ to allow me to recast all
those, I could use macros somehow.

Thanks,
