Oh whoops, your right :)

Thanks, that really did the trick (made sure win32-socket.c was compiled
and linked to program). :)


Now its compiles like a charm, but make fails at <gui...@gn...>

Looks like this is caused by a "problem" in guile.exe, because when I run
guile.exe, I get:

$ guile.exe

Does anybody have a clue if the runtime error has something to do with a
problem on windows (google search does not reveal much about successful
guile 2.0 builds on windows/mingw) or if this might have something to do
with the "Throw without catch" warning?

PS: Did someone already successfully build guile 2.0 under mingw?
