Once open-process worked for me, I quickly found out that
modules/ice-9/popen.scm is not being compiled. This is because
configure.ac explicitly excludes it for systems lacking 'fork':
AM_CONDITIONAL([BUILD_ICE_9_POPEN],
[test "x$enable_posix" = "xyes" && test "x$ac_cv_func_fork" = "xyes"
Another issue related to open-process is that popen.test was being
skipped because if-supported returns #f. I fixed it thusly:
(define-syntax-rule (if-supported body ...)
(if (or (provided? 'fork)
((string-contains %host-type "-mingw32")))
(begin body ...)))
This issue is caused by code that treats file names like strings.
That fails when the compared strings differ by their directory
separators ('/' vs '\'). I bumped into this in a couple of tests that
failed or even aborted with backtrace.
A related issue is the file names passed to Bash via open-p
