This is a common problem for all programs, and gnulib has a working solution for that: https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/Supporting-Relocation.html Also, this chapter describes a few more things gnulib can do for windows: https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/Native-Windows-Support.html I hope this can help make your work more maintainable.

It finally solves the problem of getting Guile-tools to Windows-using friends. (now I just have to learn how to follow that) Thank you very much!
