To Whom It May Concern: Siemens is interested in porting GUILE from the SUNOS5 UNIX environment to the Windows NT (4.0) environment. I understand that GUILE has successfully been ported to NT using the gnu c compiler. I would appreciate it if you could answer the following questions in this regard: 1. Which version of gnu c was used to compile GUILE in the Windows NT environment? 3. Which version of GUILE was compiled by the gnu c compiler version answered in question 2? 4. The version of GUILE that we currently have is 1.0. We also have a tar version of 1.2. Could version 1.0 still be used to port to NT; or do we have to use 1.2; or would we need to obtain version 1.3? 5. Do you know if GUILE been successfully compiled and linked in Microsoft's Visual C++ NT environment? 6. Whichever software has been successfully used to port to Windows NT, (gnu c or Visual C++), are makefiles, documentation, include files, libraries, etc. availabel to support our effort? In other words: a) If a gnu c compiler is to be used for compiling and linking on Windows NT, is access to the makefiles available? b) In the version that we currently have on line, file config.sub contains what appears to be a "-windowsnt" option. Is this file used when compiling GUILE with gnu c for Windows NT? How? c) If Microsoft's Visual C++ can be used, have the Build Settings been documented anywhere or is there an NT makefile available? 7. What difficulties would you anticipate if we plan to port GUILE using Microsoft's Visual C++? Thank you for your time, Rita Altucher raltucher@scr.siemens.com (609) 734 - 6549
