Hi List, Last night, I've eventually succeeded in building guile-1.5.6, with shared object libraries for Cygwin.
Guile version 1.5.6, is now available for testing at: http://lilypond.org/cygwin/tar/guile After a successful installation of guile (and libguile14), you should be able to run, eg, guile -c '(begin (write (string-append "hello: " (version) "\n")))' May we have your votes (and comments) please. Greetings, Jan.
