3.3.8 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.
