Hello, after a while I decided to take again guile and I tried to continue the test on mingw+msys. In one of the messages posted in thread "Again on Windows support" it has been said to me to put in ~/.guile:
(debug-enable 'backtrace) (debug-set! depth 80) Since I was not able to do this test with .guile, I tried to modify directly the values in the sources. Into libguile/eval.c I temporally changed the initialization of some scm_debug_opts[] as: { SCM_OPTION_INTEGER, "depth", 80, "Maximal length of printed backtrace." }, { SCM_OPTION_BOOLEAN, "backtrace", 1, "Show backtrace on error." }, { SCM_OPTION_BOOLEAN, "debug", 1, "Use the debugging evaluator." }, I hope I changed the right points. After that, I recompiled and I got this result on console: cat alist.doc arbiters.doc async.doc backtrace.doc boolean.doc chars.doc continuations.doc debug.doc deprecation.doc deprecated.doc discouraged.doc dynl.doc dynwind.doc eq.doc error.doc eval.doc evalext.doc extensions.doc feature.doc fluids.doc fports.doc futures.doc gc.doc goops.doc gsubr.doc gc-mark.doc gc-segment.doc gc-malloc.doc gc-card.doc gettext.doc gc-segment-table.doc guardians.doc hash.doc hashtab.doc hooks.doc i18n.doc init.doc ioext.doc keywords.doc lang.doc list.doc load.doc macros.doc mallocs.doc modules.doc numbers.doc objects.doc objprop.doc options.doc pairs.doc ports.doc print.doc procprop.doc procs.doc properties.doc random.doc rdelim.doc read.doc root.doc rw.doc scmsigs.doc script.doc simpos.doc smob.doc sort.doc srcprop.doc stackchk.doc stacks.doc stime.doc strings.doc srfi-4.doc srfi-13.doc srfi-14.doc strorder.doc strports.doc struct.doc symbols.doc threads.doc throw.doc values.doc variable.doc vectors.doc version.doc vports.doc weaks.doc ramap.doc unif.doc dynl.doc filesys.doc posix.doc net_db.doc socket.doc win32-uname.doc win32-dirent.doc win32-socket.doc regex-posix.doc inet_aton.doc mkstemp.doc | GUILE="/home/Carlo/guile/pre-inst-guile" ../../guile-svn/scripts/snarf-check-and-output-texi > guile-procedures.texi || { rm guile-procedures.texi; false; } Backtrace: In unknown file: ?: 0* (begin # # #) ?: 1* [eval-string "(apply"] <unnamed port>: In procedure scm_i_lreadparen in expression (eval-string "(apply"): <unnamed port>: #<unknown port>:1:7: end of file make[3]: *** [guile-procedures.texi] Error 1 I also did the tests suggested to me in the past (first test does not print anything): $ ./pre-inst-guile -c 1 $ ./pre-inst-guile -c '(display "foo")' Backtrace: In unknown file: ?: 0* (begin (eval-string "(display") (quit)) ?: 1* [eval-string "(display"] <unnamed port>: In procedure scm_i_lreadparen in expression (eval-string "(display"): <unnamed port>: #<unknown port>:1:9: end of file I hope you may have an idea about what it is happening.
