Bug #64723. Guile used to use libltdl to do dynamic linking, and libltdl would search for dlls that had major version numbers attached, such as 'guile-readline0.dll' Guile replaced libltdl with internal code, which no longer handles dlls with major version numbers attached. A patch was proposed but has not made it into the main tree to restore major version number handling in Dlls. I keep my own version of the patch in my fork: here. github.com/spk121/guile/commit/ddcdfe0db957a8231deb8e8ee70a7aec6307acd9 Another workaround would be to add the "-avoid-version" flag to LDFLAGS for guile-readline -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
