Juan, I have some patches in my ECL git tree, among which are:
- some MinGW fixes, - a revert of a float-related crasher, - a src/Makefile.in improvement. With these patches, I was able to build ECL with latest mingw-get-inst (version 20100910). Apropos the revert (which is an obviously improper fix, but a proper one is way out of my competence area) -- the commit 655809781a6c2df3fc8b040d8be01f05177e31ec was making ecl_min bust the stack during the build, like this: ^ ^ | 32394 more calls to ratio_to_double | .... #32394 0x004453e9 in ratio_to_double (num=<value optimized out>, den=<value optimized out>) at d:/usr/src/ecl/src/c/number.d:759 #32395 0x004453e9 in ratio_to_double (num=<value optimized out>, den=<value optimized out>) at d:/usr/src/ecl/src/c/number.d:759 #32396 0x0044d3d2 in make_float (num=0x117c400, exp=<value optimized out>, exp_char=<value optimized out>, sign=1) at d:/usr/src/ecl/src/c/reader/parse_number.d:105 #32397 0x004171dc in ecl_read_object_with_delimiter (in=<value optimized out>, delimiter=6, flags=0, a=<value optimized out>) at d:/usr/src/ecl/src/c/read.d:364 #32398 0x004172c3 in do_read_delimited_list (d=41, in=0x109bfa0, proper_list=0) at d:/usr/src/ecl/src/c/read.d:1431 #32399 0x004173b5 in left_parenthesis_reader (in=0x109bfa0, character=0xa2) at d:/usr/src/ecl/src/c/read.d:443 #32400 0x0041a252 in ecl_apply_from_stack_frame (frame=0x22d530, x=0xdc36e0) at d:/usr/src/ecl/src/c/eval.d:52 #32401 0x0041a3a0 in cl_funcall (narg=<value optimized out>, function=0xdc36e0) at d:/usr/src/ecl/src/c/eval.d:129 #32402 0x00416f3b in ecl_read_object_with_delimiter (in=0x109bfa0, delimiter=-1, flags=0, a=<value optimized out>) at d:/usr/src/ecl/src/c/read.d:202 #32403 0x004186b3 in cl_read (narg=4) at d:/usr/src/ecl/src/c/read.d:1383 #32404 0x00452391 in APPLY (n=4, fn=0x418658 <cl_read>, x=0xe00048) at d:/usr/src/ecl/src/c/apply.d:29 #32405 0x00449483 in ecl_interpret (frame=0x22d894, env=0x1, bytecodes=0x1079de8) at d:/usr/src/ecl/src/c/interpreter.d:499 And yet, one issue remains: $ ls /d/usr/src/ecl-bin Copyright cmp.asd ecl.dll libdefsystem.a sb-bsd-sockets.asd LGPL cmp.fas ecl.exe librt.a sb-bsd-sockets.fas TAGS defsystem.asd ecl_min.exe libsb-bsd-sockets.a share asdf.fas defsystem.fas help.doc libsockets.a sockets.asd build-stamp dpp.exe libasdf.a prebuilt-asdf.asd sockets.fas bytecmp.asd ecl libbytecmp.a rt.asd ucd.dat bytecmp.fas ecl-config libcmp.a rt.fas $ /d/usr/src/ecl-bin/ecl.exe ECL (Embeddable Common-Lisp) 10.7.1 Copyright (C) 1984 Taiichi Yuasa and Masami Hagiya Copyright (C) 1993 Giuseppe Attardi Copyright (C) 2000 Juan J.
