Re: Errors in libguile 1.8.8 while compiling gnucash on Windows

[Noah Lavine]

Hello,

I think This list is the right place to send patch files. I don't know if people will look at them too closely, though, because that's an old version of Guile. Can Gnucash use Guile 2?

Best,
Noah

Hi Guile developers,

I have been attempting to compile gnucash on Windows XP in the hopes of addressing one of the bugs.  One of the compile issues I hit was this:

srfi-4.c: In function 'uvec_to_list':

srfi-4.c:399:15: error: variable 'elts' set but not used [-Werror=unused-but-set-variable]

as I hit these errors, I corrected the source and created a patch file.  After creating 15 patch files the compile of libguile completed.  Please let me know if it would be helpful to forward these patch files and where I should.  Using srfi-4.c as example, here is the patch...
