<mwette>lechner: My guess is the license from the header file used as source; you could probably just add a lone string in the .ffi file with the license: it will be copied to the output .scm file.

<mwette>wayland scheme compositor, for those interested: https://github.com/swaywm/chicken-wlroots/

<lechner->mwette / I added a standard copyright comment in the FFI file some time ago---the library is actually MIT or BSD, depending on Linux-PAM or OpenPAM---but it does not show up in the nyacc product https://bpa.st/4IBQ

<mwette>not elegant but it works: https://paste.debian.net/1319397/

<mwette>you can submit a bug report to add something and i'll work it

<old>lechner: Know that licenses in files are not mandatory for them to apply. I keep a LICENSES directory at the root of my projects with verbatim copies of licenses I used. I also keep a LICENSE file that stipulate which licenses applies for each file in the projet and that by default, it is GPL3.

<old>You can do the same by saying something along: All yacc generated bindings are under X license

<old>here's an example: https://git.sr.ht/~old/libpatch/tree/master/item/LICENSE

<old>Note the statement: Every Scheme files are provided under the terms of the GNU Generic Public License v3.0 or later:

<msavoritias>how do i use modules in guile? tried guix install guile-sdl2 but it still says no code for module (sdl2)

<msavoritias>i have this with basically every package tried goblins too

<msavoritias>do i need to modify path somehow? the tutorials dont mention anything

<old>msavoritias: can you try the following command: guix shell guile guile-sdl2 -- guile -c '(use-modules (sdl2))'

<old>it should print nothing or throw an exception if sdl2 not available to Guile

<msavoritias>ah now it worked

<msavoritias>so it needs the full guile instead of the one included with guix

<msavoritias>thank you :D

<graywolf>Hello Guile people :) Is there any introspection API that would allow me to go from a record type <foo> to the list of field names?

<sneek>graywolf, you have 1 message!

<sneek>graywolf, mwette says: try this: https://paste.debian.net/1318764/

<old>msavoritias: you need guile and its modules to be in the same profile I think. For example (to be confirmed), if Guile is installed from system profile but modules installed from home profile, I do not think your Guile will see the modules

<old>That's my theory because whenever I do: guix shell guile-sdl2, I can not import the modules in my Guile coming from my home profile

<old>That being said, a more thorough explanation will emerged from #guix

<dthompson>old: it's because you didn't add 'guile' to your guix shell packages

<dthompson>so guix isn't going to extend the guile load path

<old>yes
