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’.
