Dear list readers,

I have a problem with gambit 40b17 on cygwin/WinXP. I compiled gambit with gcc3.4.4 and it seemed to work.

But gsi.exe does not echo the characters I type into the terminal (bash or DOS cmd). I tried various -:- and -:t options but with

no success. However, the result of the evaluation of what I typed gets printed.

Any help would be appreciated

I could not reproduce your problem. I compiled 4.0 beta 17 with the latest cygwin with gcc 3.4.4 and the console I/O worked fine. Are you using special tty settings in your shell? What does the shell command "stty" report?

If you can't solve the problem with cygwin, you might try compiling Gambit with MinGW. There is a different I/O problem with MinGW (which has been fixed in my working version). You will have to start gsi with the option -:tl (the console end-of-line processing for CR- LF in beta 17 has a bug).
