Eli Zaretskii skribis: > > Sadly, Guile seems to care only about one OS: GNU/Linux, and more or Guile is software so it’s doesn’t care one way or the other ;-), but it’s true that the maintainers and probably most contributors are primarily concerned with GNU/Linux. However, my understanding is that Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) has the potential to make all of us happy. For example, here’s info from someone who got Guix to run on Windows/WSL2: https://gist.github.com/giuliano108/49ec5bd0a9339db98535bc793ceb5ab4 Running Guile alone should be easier. Notably, I would expect a bundle created with ‘guix pack guile’ to Just Work on Windows. Does anyone have experience with that? Thanks, Ludo’.
