I never tried to build a newer Guile, as doing a fully-functional MinGW port is a non-trivial endeavor that consumes a lot of time, and I don't have that time now. Sadly, Guile seems to care only about one OS: GNU/Linux, and more or less disregard the rest. Features are added that clearly cannot easily work on other OSes, let alone non-Posix ones, and with each such new feature producing a working MinGW port becomes harder and harder, even for experienced hackers. Please don't bother replying to this rant, it's just FYI, to convey my personal recollections and experiences from doing the 2.0.x port, and I don't intend to argue about it.

Itʼs true (and a pity) that there no official packages, of course, but ‘no solution’? I vaguely recall, there was a Guile on MinGW a couple of years ago, does it no longer build? And what happened with Cygwin package after all? cygwin.com says, that 3.0.4 is there [1]. [1] https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/guile3.0.html signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Definitely. Already marking e-mails as "extract information" to add to the list later. I also already added your tutorial in the tutorial category. ; ) On 23.07.20 12:40, Jérémy Korwin-Zmijowski wrote: > Hi Frank and Marc, > > I've never tried to use these frameworks.

hello, > I don't think many people use it, but I thought I'd mention it anyway. good to know. both guile-tap and scm-test-tap deserve an entry on testanything.org. yet i'm wondering if there is an official or de facto standard framework or output for testing in the scheme world. regards, marc
Re: test anything? (Re: My Guile Hacker Handbook)
Hi Frank and Marc, I've never tried to use these frameworks. I will give them a try. They could be part of the awesome-guile list Zelphir initiated. Thank you for bringing this and also taking time to give feedback ! Jérémy

I'm similar with test-reporting. TAP is nice and available for every language under the sun. So years back, because I couldn't find a frame- work that would for Guile, I wrote ¹, which emits TAP as well. But it does not replicate Perl's API. So no "ok" procedure and things like that. I don't think many people use it, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.

My Guile Hacker Handbook
Hello hackers ! I would liko to introduce my (almost started) book to you : https://jeko.frama.io It aims to provide a tutorial-like way to learn Guile. But also to get used to tests. As I am not an experienced Guile hacker, the book will emerge accordingly to my Guile journey haha. Hope it can help someone to jump in and hack. Cheers, Jérémy
