Are they also present in the tree where you installed Guile after building it? > I ./configured with --prefix=/usr (which is at the same mount point > as / on my mingw configuration). When it comes to make install, > I don't know what TRT would be Configuring with --prefix=/usr is a mistake: there's no /usr on your system, as far as MinGW programs are concerned. You need to understand the difference between MinGW and MSYS programs and their respective setups. MSYS, like Cygwin, emulates a Posix system, so it supports /usr etc. It does so by mounting some Windows directory (in your case, it seems to be C:/MinGW) as /. But the Guile you compiled is _not_ an MSYS program, it is a native Windows program, so it doesn't know about this mount. Since the build process records the /usr prefix in the binary, the resulting Guile executables will look for their files starting from the /usr directory on the current drive, and that directory doesn't exist. You need to reconfigure Guile with --prefix=c:/MinGW (assuming that is where you want your installation tree to be rooted), and then rebuild everything. I would suggest "make distclean" followed by a new configure command with the right prefix and then "make" and "make install". > gc-7.2d compiled from the source from Hans Boehm's web site > (I don't remember whether I finally configured it with pthreads > or with windows threads, but I tried both for sure), > gmp-5.2.1 from the source (I think it is shared version), > libffi-3.0.13 from the source > libunistring-0.9.3 from the source > libiconv-1.14 and a few others bundled with mingw > Everything built from the source was configured with --prefix=/usr See above: you will therefore need to reconfigure and rebuild those as well, using the correct Windows absolute directory name as prefix. > Both / and /usr point to C:\MinGW\ Right, and this is the source of your problems. > And would it be possible to distribute the binary release somehow? > (in particular, the libguile.dll + scm/go modules that would be loaded > from current directory) Yes, it should be possible. What I usually do for that install to a separate empty directory, like this: make install prefix=d:/test (you can use any other empty directory as value of "prefix"), then create a tarball or a zip file from everything under d:/test.
