Speaking of Windows, note that on cygwin32 I achieved to use geda-gaf
since Guile 1.8 was packaged.
Those days at work I'm trying to compile geda-gaf (latest and 1.8.2)
under Windows platform, cygwin64 environment. For latest geda-gaf the
problem is that Guile 2.1 is available only from source, not cygwin-
packaged. I tried to compile it, and found it a really harsh trip since
when an error occur, I cannot tell whether I misrun configure tool
(very likely), or an issue with cygwin (or bdw-gc for instance), or an
issue of portability of Guile. From your comment I understand this is
an hopeless task ?
For geda-gaf 1.8.2, and it turns out that there is a missing
gtkconfig.h somewhere, and here again I can't say whether I did
something wrong.
I can post a full bug report if of interest and if relevant to do it
here.

Arnaud.
