Does this work on other platforms?  (I know almost nothing about
linking C programs with libguile; maybe your program has a bug, or you
are missing some function call necessary for this to work?)

It's the simplest example I could come up with.

The same code executes properly (i.e. displays "hello!") on linux.

I don't know whether windows requires any additional steps for that

to work.

There should be no need to compile under MSYS, you can compile from
the Windows cmd window.  I don't think that's the reason for your
problems, but it's worth a try.

I did, but the result's still the same (i.e. stack overflow exception).

I could try linking it with libguile-1.8 and see if that works, but

I''d be truly grateful if anyone who's had some experience with

libguile-2.0 linkage on mingw could help me (if such person exists :D)

Still, thanks for pushing my work ahead a little :)
