Hi Paul,
Guile exercises a very large subset of the POSIX API (file system,
networking, threads, etc.) and thus is quite exposed to portability
issues. I suspect it’s not as portable as GNU Make, but that can be
fixed.
We mostly check it on GNU variants, but also on MacOS X and FreeBSD and
from time to time on Solaris and a few others. Fortunately, Guile uses
Gnulib, and a large part of the OS-sensitive APIs is wrapped by Gnulib.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
