I have ported Matthias Blume's scheme interpreter VSCM to the most recent version of GNU-Win32. The executable runs only after it is stripped. For example, bash.exe-2.01$ ./scheme.exe bash.exe: ./scheme.exe: Not owner bash.exe-2.01$ strip ./scheme.exe bash.exe-2.01$ ./scheme.exe Welcome to VSCM (V0r4) > It does not seem to matter whether I use basic b18 or I enhance it with coolview. It does not matter whether it was compiled with -g or -O. So far it works well but if a bug does crop up it sure would be nice to run gdb on the executable. I had exaclty the same problem with a very large pice of s/w which used large tables. I have tried with egcs and it Works - well I don't need to strip it to get an executable .exe file. So try the egcs verion is my recommendation Kevin - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
