I'm OK with dumping libguile-ltdl altogether in 1.7, if we don't think we're going to pursue enhancements anytime soon. We can always add it back later, and a --disable-libguile-ltdl option sounds like it might be a reasonable way to handle the problem in 1.6 if the fix for libguile-ldtl for cygwin is too hard. Although if it's just cygwin, and if libguile-ltdl has *never* worked there, then another alternative might be to just disable it when cygwin is detected. Ideally though, I'd still much rather just have a fix for libguile-ltdl on cygwin if that were possible, and not too difficult. -- Rob Browning rlb @defaultvalue.org and @debian.org; previously @cs.utexas.edu GPG starting 2002-11-03 = 14DD 432F AE39 534D B592 F9A0 25C8 D377 8C7E 73A4 _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
