Thanks everyone for the pointers.

I got as far as installing MSYS2, but haven't had further chance to
experiment with builds.

In general, I prefer a native (non Cygwin / MSYS2) windows port (as it
"feels" like less burden to install) for others who might be familiar with
more self-contained packages.

With this said, a full UNIX like environment with make tools, working
Python, Perl, (Scheme) etc... does make sense for gEDA / Lepton, as the
tools are so much more powerful when used "as designed". I currently flip
to a second machine or VM to do certain build operations that rely on
Makefiles, for example.


If anyone has a working windows (or Guile build) recipe, please do share it
here, I will do likewise if anything useful comes of my attempts. (Not
likely to be that soon, as life is currently keeping me busy - trying to
buy a house!)

Peter

Thank you for the clarification.<br>
I installed MSYS2 and played around a bit with it. Indeed, there is no<br>

So, perhaps we can conclude this thread&#39;s discussion: the quick, easy<b=

CYGWIN [1] [2]. Not sure about geda-gaf, didn&#39;t try that.<br>
