It appears to be a problem of libguile-17 needing to be rebuilt with one of the more recent gcc packages that fixes the throwing-a-std::string-across-a-dll-boundary bug[*]. That fixed it for me, anyway. I uploaded my build of autogen for a friend of Adam's who contacted me off-list, so if anyone else would like to give it a go, you can get autogen from: http://rapidshare.com/files/85998958/autogen-5.9.4-0-strip.tar.bz2 and you'll need the rebuilt libguile dll to make it work too: http://rapidshare.com/files/87008759/cygguile-17.dll.tar.bz2 These were both built plain OOTB from sources, no configure options nor patching were needed. (Once we've verified the problem and solution and upgraded libguile in the distro I'll presumably ITP autogen.) cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
