Is there any interest in adding support for DJGPP (development environment for msdos) in Guile? Is bug-guile@gnu.org correct address for diffs? I have already fixed configure scripts and added workarounds for features missing in DJGPP. Now it can be compiled with configure; make And then executable can be used after setting GUILE_LOAD_PATH. (Actually, I always used `--disable-dynamic-linking --disable-shared', but I think configure will detect that these features are not available). It is not very useful for DJGPP community without changing file name handling though. For example, it is assumed that absolute path starts with `/' and that path entries are delimited with `/'. I'm not sure how to fix it. IMHO, it would be better to add some helper routine to test that path is absolute and another one to split path on subdirectories. Or maybe even make these helpers Scheme functions, so that they will be accessible from Scheme programs. What is the opinion of Guile developers about it? -- Michael Bukin
