I'm sure that Chuck meant to say 'external-source: guile' Now, as for building from source, the script included in the source package is not a valid Cygwin script. It seems to be a cross-compilation script. Would it be possible to adapt the generic build script from the package building page? Look at http://cygwin.com/setup.html and scroll down to the section entitled "Method Two". Meanwhile, I will try and follow the script to manually build it, to see if it works. Cheers, Nicholas
