Hello, Andreas I was able to compile guile on mingw32. First, you should use the guile-core-1.8-20070429.tar.gz snapshot, or use "cvs" to download the code in the 1.8 branch. The unstable branch is not mingw32 compatible, at the moment. Then, make sure you configured libtool, gmp and guile with ./configure --prefix=$(cd /mingw && pwd -W) This will install the libraries at the right location in the MinGW compiler tree and allow guile to find its data files at run-time. Also, add to the guile configure line: --without-libiconv-prefix --without-libintl-prefix due to a problem in the MinGW gettext support. Hope this helps, Cesar _______________________________________________ Guile-user mailing list Guile-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-user
