Guile-Wayland is library that provides access to the Wayland Protocol for programs written in GNU Guile Scheme.
- The main feature is auto-generating Guile Code (GOOPs classes) from Wayland’s XML descriptions, minimizing direct C interop. See
(@@ (wayland scanner) use-wayland-protocol) - To simplify this a separate library guile-bytestructure-class was written. It’s based on scheme-bytestructures
- Autoconf
- Automake
- Libtool
- Pkg-config
- Texinfo
- Guile
- Wayland
- Scheme-bytestructures
- Guile-bytestructure-class

The library can be installed by the following means:
- Using GNU Guix:
guix package -f guix.scm. It’s much recommended to do so. - Manually (assuming you are familiar with GNU Make & friends)
It’s recommended to use GNU Guix with GNU Emacs (with guile-geiser) or any other modern convenient Guile development environment available to work on this library. For quick interactivity launch the repl (repl.sh) and connect to it with your IDE.
