Hi Pierre,

> I want to call scheme from C.

Well, I would start with:

https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/A-Sample-Guile-Main-Program.html

Then maybe:

https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/General-Libguile-Concepts.html


Personally, I have never done that.  The memory management can be
painful.  And instead of directly using libguile, my first attempt would
be a very simplistic approach: call system() or popen(), i.e., start
Guile this way and process some script.  If that is not doable because
the objects to process are alive inside only the C program, that’s an
indication it will not be straightforward. ;-)

Somehow, I do not know about your question. :-)

Cheers,
simon
