Guile-FontConfig provides Guile Scheme bindings for the FontConfig C
shared library. The bindings are written in pure Scheme by using
Guile's foreign function interface.
* Requirements
Guile-FontConfig currently depends on the following packages:
- GNU Guile >= 2.0.9
- FontConfig
- GNU Make
- GNU pkg-config
When building from a Git checkout, the following additional packages
are required:
- GNU Autoconf
- GNU Automake
- GNU Texinfo
* Installing
Guile-FontConfig uses the standard GNU build system, so installation
requires the usual incantations:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
./configure
make
make install
#+END_SRC
When building from a Git checkout, the following spell is necessary
before running any of the above commands:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
./bootstrap
#+END_SRC
GNU Guix users may install the current development snapshot
described in =guix.scm= with the following command:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
guix package -f guix.scm
#+END_SRC
* Developing
To build the source code from a Git checkout, run the following:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
./bootstrap
./configure
make
#+END_SRC
To start a Guile REPL with a pre-configured load path for using
guile-fontconfig, use the =pre-inst-env= script:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
./pre-inst-env guile
#+END_SRC
GNU Guix users may create a development environment with all of the
necessary dependencies by running the following command:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
guix environment -l guix.scm
#+END_SRC
