What I forgot to mention is that without the -c, the command-line will work perfectly fine. (Generating the obj / etcs all inside the appropriate folder). It seems specific to having the -c flag in the command line. Tried quoting and replacing with forward slashes, no luck.

Also doesn't work with just plain:
gsc -:d- -c -o <build directory, with no sub directories> -c ..\<some set of paths>\main.scm > out.txt

gsc -:d- -c -o <build directory, with no sub directories> main.scm > out.txt

gsc -:d- -c -o cat main.scm > out.txt

I can't be sure... but those backslashes seem suspicious.  Can you replace them with forward slashes?  You should also try surrounding the paths with double quotes, and maybe doubling the backslashes...

I've been trying for a little bit now to try to get this type of command line working:

gsc -:d- -c -o <build directory>\<sub set build directory> ..\<some set of paths>\main.scm > out.txt

And I end up with this error:
*** ERROR IN ##main -- string expected for output: parameter

What am I doing wrong? At least judging by the documentation, using the flags together should be supported. I've also tried many different permutation of the above command, just in case including:

gsc -:d- -o <build directory>\<sub set build directory> -c ..\<some set of paths>\main.scm > out.txt

gsc -:d- -o -c <build directory>\<sub set build directory> ..\<some set of paths>\main.scm > out.txt

gsc -:d- -c <build directory>\<sub set build directory> ..\<some set of paths>\main.scm > out.txt

Full story:

I'm trying to get the gambit compiler working with the waf build system. Currently using this as the arguments to the build step:
gsc -:d- -c -o ${TGT[0].bld_dir(env)} ${SRC} > out.txt

Sadly, all I get is the above error.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Cameron
