Guile Module, install .scm file that does load-extensions?

[KoviRobi]

Hi,

Description

I am installing libfive on Nix, and it doesn't seem to install the guile modules. I think it just does the basic cmake install steps (cmake flags: "-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release"), any flags I need to give it to install the .scm/.go files?

Also, can I make a package for just libfive, then compile libfive-studio/libfive-guile using the existing libfive package (it will make the separate licenses easier to express).

Versions

• Operating system: NixOS (https://github.com/KoviRobi/nixpkgs/tree/libfive-2020-02-15)
• libfive commit hash: 5b7717a
  • Is this the latest commit to master? [yes]
• Qt version (if applicable): 5.12

Ah, sorry, I have found https://github.com/libfive/libfive/blob/master/doc/guide.md which does help, turns out I should have done

(load-extension "libfive-guile" "scm_init_libfive_modules")

Actually, perhaps there should be a libfive/modules.scm or something, e.g. https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Modules-and-Extensions.html#index-extensiondir-1 ?

Perhaps! The Guile module is pretty specialized for the Studio GUI right now, so less work has been put into making it friendly as a general-purpose module. If you want to open a PR that brings up to best practices, I'd be happy to merge.

Okay, this is done in #383 (along with a bunch of other changes).
