Hi:
I enjoy using Gambit on Linux but have no luck doing same on windows. I tried v401 with openwatcom. It failed because the platform-dependent header files need to be somehow configured. On v410 prebuilt, gsi works but there is an apparent linkage error with gsc. Perhaps there is some issue with my win32 environment.
This is not to dis Gambit, Chicken Scheme presents the same sort of Windows headaches. It might be less challenging if Scheme for windows relied only on a single free win32 compiler such as Openwatcom. Then there would not be the extra complexity of setting up Mingw or Cygwin.
