[Chicken-users] FFI and shared libraries

[Joel Reymont]

Howdy!

I have a number of Scheme units that I'm compiling into one shared
library. I also have a couple of files that wrap existing C++ header
files, one Scheme file per header file. I'm able to compile all these
files into a shared library. I also compile into the shared library one
"main" file where  I do (load-library 'unit "shared.so") for each Scheme
unit. Then I do (declare (uses unit)) for each unit as well.

Problem is that when I do the declare uses for those Scheme units that
have FFI code it tries to load the Scheme file. If I don't put in
(declare unit ... ) into the FFI Scheme files then I get multiple
definitions of C_toplevel. 

I understand that I can create extension modules (shared libraries?) for
each C++ header file or maybe one module with all the header files
included. Is there a more elegant way, though?

    Thanks, Joel
