[clisp-list] GObject-Introspection and GTK+ 3 bindings

[Michael K. <mic...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I've written two CLISP modules providing C bindings based on 
GObject-Introspection, and GTK+ 3 bindings, respectively. The modules 
currently work on Linux only (tested on Ubuntu).

GIR provides GObject-Introspection[1] language bindings for CLISP.
Thanks to the terrific effort of the GObjet-Introspection project,
many C libraries are available with a single gir:generate-bindings call.
In addition to the GUI libraries GTK+, GDK, Pango and GdkPixbuf, there 
is WebKit, GObject and GLib, for example. Little extra work is usually 
required to obtain usable bindings.

GTK+ uses GIR to provide GTK+ 3 bindings (3.0 or newer - whatever you 
have installed). Let your CLISP UI run in the browser using the HTML5 
GDK backend! GTK+ also creates bindings for GDK, Pango, GdkPixbuf, GLib 
and GObject. Some example UIs are included.

Both modules are released under GPL and available from 
http://www.bitbucket.org/mak08/giffig. The repository also has pre-built 
CLISP binaries and screenshots.

Although there is a lot work left to do, I think the modules are already 
useful. Please give them a try. Your feedback (and help) is most welcome.

Michael
