[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Ok, I did some more work on the linux and mingw side. My little test 
project now compiles and works under linux, provided in gc.c I remove 
the static qualifiers from GC_set_finalize_on_demand, 
GC_get_heap_usage_safe, GC_get_free_space_divisor and 
GC_set_finalizer_notifier. That still gave a warning at linking time, 
but any combination of preprocessor guards caused either compile errors 
or link errors.

Also, when building guile-2.9 with --disable-posix, there comes a 
lisp-compile error when the standard modules are made:

When I leave out that option it (the test project) builds and runs fine 
on linux now though.

On mingw, I still have to define the struct timespec:

diff --recursive guile-2.0/lib/stat-time.h guile-2.0.7/lib/stat-time.h
26,32d25
< #ifndef _TIMESPEC_DEFINED
< struct timespec {
<         time_t tv_sec;
<         long tv_nsec;
< };
< #endif
<
diff --recursive guile-2.0/libguile/random.c guile-2.0.7/libguile/random.c
668c668
<      scm_from_ulong(getpid()),         /* process ID */
---
>      scm_getpid (),         /* process ID */
diff --recursive guile-2.0/libguile/threads.c guile-2.0.7/libguile/threads.c
70,75d69
< #ifndef _TIMESPEC_DEFINED
< struct timespec {
<         time_t tv_sec;
<         long tv_nsec;
< };
< #endif

With that it builds.

When I run it with --program-suffix=.exe it also copies guild.exe 
(without it fails while trying), but then fails when it tries to run it 
without the suffix.

So I run it again without the --program-suffix, and since the files are 
copied in the previous build it starts them, but then they fail like this:


 but then fails installing the lisp modules:

  GEN      guile-procedures.texi
Throw without catch before boot:
Throw to key system-error with args ("canonicalize-path" "~A" ("No such 
file or directory") (2))Aborting.

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual 
way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
make[4]: *** [guile-procedures.texi] Error 1
make[4]: Leaving directory

make[1]: *** [install] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/c/Users/shookie/guiletest/lib/guile-2.0'
make: *** [lib/lib/libguile-2.0.a] Error 2

I attached the new updated test-project tgz.

In summary, I still think on mingw the configure script gets very 
confused about paths and file names.
