4.3.7 Dynamic Linking

Dynamic linking is the preferred method of using `libmu_scm'. It uses Guile "use-modules" mechanism. An interface module `mailutils.scm' is provided in order to facilitate using this method. This module is installed in the package data directory (by default it is `prefix/share/mailutils'). A sample use of this module is:

(set! %load-path (list "/usr/local/share/mailutils")) (use-modules (mailutils)) # Now you may use mailutils functions: (let ((mb (mu-mailbox-open "/var/spool/mail/gray" "r"))) ...

Note, that you should explicitly modify the %load-path before calling use-modules, otherwise Guile will not be able to find `mailutils.scm'.
