This is just a guess… I haven’t tried it… but the --prefix should use the Windows path (i.e. --prefix=C:\opt\gambit\bld) because on Windows, even with mingw, the Gambit runtime will call the WIN32 CreateFile function to open files and it expects a Windows path.
I don’t understand why gsc would segfault however. Do you have more details? Can you try with gdb?

I'm unable to figure out how to use Gambit on Windows successfully, and I'd like some help. (I'm plenty comfortable with Gambit on Linux/OSX). My general feeling is that I'm using configure's "prefix" argument incorrectly on Windows, which may be causing my problem.
I can build gambit just fine using the msys2 environment with mingw64 as the compiler.
(Here's the head of config.log "$ ./configure --prefix=/c/opt/gambit/bld --enable-single-host --enable-gcc-opts")
I can do basic stuff in gsi, such as

But the following doesn't work:
(include "~~/lib/_gambit#.scm")
*** ERROR IN (console)@2.1 -- Can't open file "\c\opt\gambit\bld\lib/_gambit#.scm"
and I can't get "gsc -exe foo.scm" (for some trivial foo.scm) to not segfault.
Any ideas?
