Hi Vladimir,
This is Michael, and I never really tried to incorporate these patches
into a stable release. I made that fork to document a build I made
for a game jam, and never continued further with it.
Maybe when I get a chance, I can put together a set of patches off
of the last released Guile 2.2.6 that you could put in a MinGW PKGBUILD,
but, they would be rather extensive, since there needs to be a gnulib
update. I would probably take me a week or so.
Also, I never figured out 64-bit problem or the the threads problem.
The threads problem is because winpthreads and bdw-gc and Guile don't
work well together, and the 64-bit build has problems because it
assumes long integers are 8 bytes.
Regards,
Michael Gran
