Hello all- guile-container-test is set of scripts that builds Guile with WINE a Docker container. The Docker container is based off of Debian. The primary motivation was to provide a way to test the MinGW UCRT build using more free software.
MinGW is one of the sundry ways people compile software on Microsoft's OS. MinGW64 UCRT is a specific flavor of MinGW that provides a thin wrapper around Microsoft's 64-bit UCRT C library and its Win32 API layer. This container-based build tool uses WINE, a Windows emulation environment, instead of the Microsoft OS. While WINE is free software, the UCRT C library is not. You can find it at github.com/spk121/guile-container-test Whether this v0.0 actually runs to completion is TBD. Since Guile doesn't actually compile and run on MinGW UCRT, I've only been able to reproduce that the build in this container fails at the same location as the build on native Windows, due to the issue described in codeberg.org/guile/guile/pulls/141 So I can reproduce the failure, which is something, I guess.
