* Guile and Geiser talk to each other This package provides support for using [[https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/][GNU Guile]] in Emacs with [[http://geiser.nongnu.org][Geiser]]. Provided [[https://gitlab.com/emacs-geiser/geiser][geiser]] is installed in your system, if this package's directory is in your load path, just add ~(require 'geiser-guile)~ to your initialisation files and then ~M-x run-guile~ to start a REPL. Scheme files with a Guile module declaration should be automatically recognised as Guile-flavoured Geiser buffers. The easiest way of installing this package is using NonGNU Elpa or MELPA. If you're in Emacs 28 or higher, the former is already enabled and all you need is the familiar #+begin_src elisp M-x install-package RET geiser-guile RET #+end_src That will also install geiser, and its fine info manual. Please refer to it (or its [[https://geiser.nongnu.org][online version]]) for a general description of how geiser schemes work. We provide below some additional details specific to geiser-guile. *** Start up When launching the Guile REPL, geiser will invoke the binary configured in ~geiser-guile-binary~ (simply "guile" by default) which in turn will load ~geiser-guile-init-file~, if any. Note, however, that specifying ~geiser-guile-init-file~ is /not/ equivalent to changing Guile's initialization file (=~/.guile=), because the former is loaded using the =-l= flag, together with =-q= to disable loading the second. But there are subtle differences in the way Guile loads the initialization file versus how it loads a file specified via the =-l= flag. If what you want is just loading =~/.guile=, leave ~geiser-guile-init-file~ alone and set ~geiser-guile-load-init-file-p~ to ~t~ instead. One can also provide a global list of paths to add to Guile's =%load-path= via ~geiser-guile-load-path~.
