3. MEMBERS: I would defer to the advise/experience of the common-lisp.net administrators on how this is best handled. I would hope that any competent programmer with an interest in helping could join but I don't know how to construct such a filter!
4. DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
λgtk (UNIX name: lambda-gtk) is a cross-platform Lisp interface to the complete GTK+2 family of shared libraries. λgtk provides Lisp programmers with the following set of features:
o Portable GUI programming across the supported Lisp environments. o Automatic conversion between Lisp data (booleans, numbers, strings) and their GTK types. o Lisp names for GTK's enums, structs and functions. o Lisp accessor functions to read/write slot values in GTK structs. o A GTK symbol package that defines and exports the GTK API. o A small set of utilities for working with GTK pointers, callbacks and foreign data in a portable way
Because GTK is so large and complex the λgtk interface is generated from a GTK definition file (gtk.ffi) and an API control file (gtk.api) that can be edited in order to generate more or less inclusive interfaces to GTK.
λgtk currently runs in the following Lisp environments: o PPC/Darwin OpenMCL 0.14.2-p1 o PPC/Darwin SBCL 0.8.15 o x86/Linux SBCL 0.8.16 o x86/Linux CMUCL 19a One "goal" of the project would be to add additional back ends for other bindings (for example to CLISP/Windows and even Guile).
λgtk is released under the LLGPL (Lisp Lesser Gnu Public License).
