Right? That is correct. When you try to build windows application in the MinGW project, often times you need to run a configure script that may require tools that don't have native windows versions. The way MinGW helps these configure scripts run is by taking advantage of the the MSYS2 environment -- which is similar to Cygwin -- so that has enough tools to run a configure script. It includes a version of Guile for the purpose of running configure. Like Cygwin, MSYS2 also has a big library that emulates POSIX that everything links to. The difference betwen MSYS2 and MinGW is that MinGW apps try to link directly to windows libraries without linking to an emulation library. -Mike Gran

Never heard about it. I will try it and maybe update the Windows section ;-) Thank you David Jérémy Le 25 juillet 2020 05:48:35 GMT+02:00, David Pirotte a écrit : >Hello, > >> > > ### On Windows >> > > No solution yet. > >fwiw, i've used msys2 (not so much anymore, but i still would if i had >to ...), easy to install, update, well maintained, very friendly on irc >when i needed to ask for help ...: > > https://www.msys2.org/ > >it has guile-2.2.7-1, threaded (which I've used. it works ...) > > https://packages.msys2.org/base/guile > >for me, it was fantastic _not to have to deal_ with ouindoze on >ouindoze, so msys2, its numerous packages ... and guile-2.2.7-1 >'saved my life' :) > > dowload the lastest msys2 > double-click -> linux terminal > use pacman (*) to update and install new packages > >David > > ** Update > > pacman -Syu > pacman -Su > > ** Packages > > pacman -S emacs > pacman -S guile > pacman -S libguile > pacman -S libguile-devel -- Envoyé de mon appareil Android avec Courriel K-9 Mail.

Re: No Guile on Windows? (was: My Guile Hacker Handbook)
Gnucash 4.0 in windows is successfully using libguile-2.2-1.dll from MSYS2.

AFAIU, that's not a native Windows port, that's an MSYS2 port, which is almost the same as a Cygwin build (MSYS2 is a fork of Cygwin). IOW, you cannot link the MSYS2 libguile with a native MinGW program, such as GDB or Gnu Make (or Lilypond, or any other application mentioned in this thread). Right?
