Itʼs true (and a pity) that there no official > packages, of course, but ‘no solution’? >From what I gathered, there are a few stupid problems with existing patches to make guile build for mingw ( https://github.com/mkeeter/guile-mingw/), but there is the hard problem that the garbage collector won't work on mingw x86_64 because it expects that pointers can fit in longs. Anyways, I say that if we can't have mingw x86_64, let's have i686 and everyone will be happy enough. By the time i686 is insufficient, Windows will already be another OS built around linux anyway (n.b. this is a personal opinion ^^). But there is a chance I fundamentally misunderstood something...
