Hi, I did some effort into getting this working. but first you could try to use an or-map to get what you want in stead if compiling everything into code. but it's probably faster what you are doing.
Anyway in vm.c I changed the #define VM_DEFAULT_STACK_SIZE (64 * 1024) to #define VM_DEFAULT_STACK_SIZE (64 * 1024 * 64) and recompiled! Then I can compile to tree-il. Compiling all the way does not work well, But if you enter scheme@(guile-user)> (compile program #:to 'value #:opts '(#:partial-eval? #f #:cse? #f)) ;;NO OPTIMIZATION PASSES It will compile to. $7 = #<procedure 3708400 (proto server-port client-zone server-zone signature-id)> In all this emphasizes what I said in earlier and I would still ask for a sane way to change the stack size for guile and document it well.
