The mailing list has been quite dead for months, and it seems that development is being halted until the new stable release is out of the door. Also, my friend Jan submitted a patch for building GUILE crosscompiled to a cygwin target, http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/guile-devel/2002-February/004562.html which was met with >Thanks very much. I'd like to wait until the people more familiar >with this particular issue can check the patch out before we apply it. >So this fix may not make it into 1.5.7, but presuming everything's >fine, it should make it into 1.5.8. > >Thanks again. I'm under the distinct impression that "the people more familiar" are more busy with putting various air castles into workbook files instead of evaluating and writing code. And if this sounds bitter, then you're darn right. We spend a lot of time with juggling around with various GUILE versions to find out what bugs are coming from what combinations, and it would make our life a lot easier if we would have one single, standardized, up-to-date GUILE version. But perhaps we're just whining, since we're the only guys that seem to actually _use_ GUILE. ObConstructive Can someone puleaze put in the following remark into the GUILE documentation? Be warned that the thread library (pthreads) will impose a 512k limit on the stack size, when compiling GUILE with thread support. We spent a _long_ time being flabbergasted at why our program dumped core on perfectly valid data and innocent instructions. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys | hanwen@cs.uu.nl | http://www.cs.uu.nl/~hanwen/ _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
