I'm wondering if anyone have experience compiling GCL with  mingw32msvc. I'm
fine using cLISP on WinNT but I would prefer getting GCL to run under it so
that I can use the same LISP environment as I do in FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
If anyone can point me to a precomiled version for WindowsNT/2k it would be
great, though I would prefer to compile the thing myself(for various
reasons).

/Kind redards,

Why not get Clisp on FreeBSD and OpenBSD?  (I think clisp works
there.)

Because I enjoy getting the features of GCL, it integrates well with GCC.

Good enough for me.  You just mentioned wanting the same lisp on
several platforms, and Clisp helps there.

What features of GCL do you enjoy getting?  (Just curious.)  And how
does gcl integrate well with GCC other than the fact that gcl compiles
code to C and runs the C compiler afterwards (which makes it the
slowest Lisp compiler I've ever used)?

Yeah, I and I do run cLISP most of them, but I want GCL for one reason, and
one reason only.

That's exactly the feature I want. :)
Speed is not an issue, I just to be able to get C code if I chose too.
