The stable-2.0 guile branch contains changes that some of our users (that is, users of gEDA/gaf) have been waiting for years, especially after guile 2.0 became necessary to build our package. I mean those users who have been waiting for Windows support. (Some of them insist on moving to using Python instead of Guile these days, since they have been tired trying to cross-compile with guile-2.0 support.) A while ago I was eventually able to build our toolkit using only one patch for guile [1] (almost one-liner, in essence), and several work-around patches for some of our programs, which can be found at [2] and are actually the same code blocks (declaring an array and doing its initialisation). I don't know why the latter patches work (geda-gaf with guile 1.8 worked without them), however, I am sure the issue is in guile 2.0, though I cannot even found the culprit by bisecting (because of too many changes in both guile and geda-gaf repositories). Having said all that, I'd like to see at least the patch [1] committed before the next guile release in order to have guile cross-compilation for windows working. Are there any chances for that? Thanks, Vladimir [1] https://github.com/vzh/minipack/blob/master/patches/guile/0001-MinGW-build-support.patch [2] https://github.com/vzh/minipack/tree/master/patches/geda-gaf
