Hi all,
I was able to get Gambit to build on windows - I tried initially with msys2 (hoping to build a 64bit version) - but failed -
$ make install making all in include make[1]: Entering directory '/home/ckk/gambit/include' make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/ckk/gambit/include' making all in lib make[1]: Entering directory '/home/ckk/gambit/lib' ../gsc-boot -:~~bin=../bin,~~lib=../lib,~~include=../include -f -c -check -prelude "(##include "header.scm")" _repl.scm make[1]: *** [makefile:167: _repl.c] Segmentation fault make[1]: *** Deleting file '_repl.c' make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/ckk/gambit/lib' make: *** [makefile:417: all-recursive] Error 1
After that, I tried using VS 2015 (unzipped vstudio.zip -- opened the sln - but did not succeed)
Eventually, I tried with mingw (from mingw.org) -
./configure; make -j4 latest-release ; ./configure --prefix=/GAMBITSCHEME --enable-single-host; make -j4 from-scratch ; make check; make -j4 doc; make install
The above resulted in GAMBITSCHEME getting created under / -> under C:\MinGW\msys\1.0 that is .... however I got this error -
$ gsc -exe hello.scm *** ERROR IN ##parameterize -- No such file or directory (current-directory "\GAMBITSCHEME\bin\")
So, I copied the whole GAMBITSCHEME director under C:\ and wala!!! things worked (I now have a working gambit compiler on my windows box - where I need to spend a lot of time). I am sharing this just in case anyone finds this useful. I am going to try to use the prebuilt 64 bit windows build (I had tried it earlier but had run into some issues)

Thanks for your feedback… but it shouldn’t be this complicated! For mingw you should use a --prefix like this
--prefix=C:/MinGW/msys/1.0/GAMBITSCHEME
to avoid moving the whole directory.
For Visual Studio, there’s probably a file or two missing in the .sln project (I don’t keep it up to date… my guess is add “lib/os_setup.c” and remove “lib/os.c”).
For msys2, did you get the sources from a clone of the github repository? If so, the instructions in INSTALL.txt should be followed precisely to bootstrap Gambit.

If you mean bash on windows ... yes .... works smoothly :) .. its essentially ubuntu for all (almost) practical purposes... Even the FS is integrated nicely. Its just the UI that's not done yet...so if I have to experiment with SDL/gambit, that will not work ... or maybe it will, if I run an X server on windows - have not tried it.
