Hi Alex,
I would like to get this resolved so I can put up a "how to" page
on my site. I know Gary V. Vaughn got version 4.x up, but it did
not use Guile. That *is* the sticking point. I am forwarding this
to him and the Guile and CygWin lists to see if anyone has experience.
You're not the first, but I don't use Windows (much) and I haven't
heard the details of the one rumored success.
Regards,
Bruce
P.S. If you would be kind enough to let me know what tweaks
you needed to apply to build AutoGen under CygWin, I
would appreciate. Thanks!
