<rain1>oh heck look at that awesome logo ***Fuuzetsu is now known as Guest4065
<rain1>but I don't know how to get the final output as a string <rain1>I tried wrapping lines 22,23 in output to string-port but then it hangs <ijp>it's not lovely, but there was already pipe procedures in (ice-9 popen) <rain1>how would you do ps aux | grep | grep with that? <ijp>as to your issue, I don't think system\\* outputs to guile's current-output-port, so that is why with-output-to-string would fail <rain1>ah I can make the last one popen! maybe.. ill try it out <ijp>the IO error is probably just a side effect of your other error ***mejja_ is now known as mejja

<wingo>maybe ports should be structs <jmarciano>is there any guile based converter from html to text? <jmarciano>actually something like (html2txt html-string) to give the ascii representation of HTML <davexunit>jmarciano: so you want extract all text nodes? <davexunit>you can convert to sxml and then select all strings from within <davexunit>I think the sxml modules have such a thing built-in <jmarciano>but then I get all strings, not only that what is visible to people <jmarciano>I am not that far. I have to convert all from Perl to Guile... <davexunit>htmlprag may be a better fit if your source html is not proper sxml. <jmarciano>the source is simple HTML from markdown output <davexunit>web browsers render web pages that have invalid html, so htmlprag tries to make sense of those invalid documents. <jmarciano>how to load sxml module to try it? I don't find in Guile documentation <davexunit>there are several modules, but one is (sxml simple) <davexunit>jmarciano: there are many procedures in the guile manual that begin with "sxml" <jmarciano>I was thinking htmlprag is part of sxml but ok <davexunit>wingo mentioned it because it is worth looking into, but if you want to make do with what guile offers out-of-the-box, then see how far you get with sxml <jmarciano>I also see that elinks browser has some guile bindings, trying to compile it now. Elinks is often used in mutt to convert frml HTML to text <wingo>htmlprag produces sxml but the htmlprag module is not included in guile <jmarciano>I get it now, yes. I assumed it was part of it <jmarciano>elinks does it nice and fast, I guess I will include that one <jmarciano>is there any instruction, how to make Guile binding or libray for those cxx files, like fltk kit. <jmarciano>fltk is smaller widget kit, than zenity requires. It would be very nice for GUI <jmarciano>as I have problem with guile-gtk to compile it <jmarciano>as I get: gtkgl-2.0 not found, but I cannot find that package on Internet <jmarciano>no, it was not that gtkgl-2.0 package, still looking for it, to install guile-gtl ***octo_ is now known as octophore
<jmarciano>I am aware there are other schemes. But programming in Guile, has long term impact on other people. That is the reason I wish to implement it in my software. ***Fuuzetsu is now known as Guest78709
<paroneayea>where does INSTALL usually come from? I guess I can just copy it from guile or guix <paroneayea>davexunit_: or do you mean using autotools' default scaffolding? <paroneayea>I guess I copied in files and modified them rather than using the whole "start a project" thingy <davexunit_>but often people specify that they have a "foreign" project <paroneayea>I'm still uncertain if 8sync should require copyright assignment or not. <paroneayea>if we do, it may make merging into guile proper easier <paroneayea>not to mention it is nice to have those legal safeguards <paroneayea>but not doing so does sem to make development faster, as Guix is good evidence of <paroneayea>I guess orgmode moves fast and requires copyright assignment as well. <civodul>i think for Guix it's critical to not have it, because a whole distro should move fast <civodul>but i'm not sure you need to worry about merging actually <civodul>lack of CA wouldn't be a reason not to merge it <bavier>tough to read, lots of short variable names, gotos, etc ***mejja_ is now known as mejja
