22:33:30k-hosenvirontment should be fine, since I am doing this all from msys2s bash
22:34:01oni-on-ionk-hos: and you've seen this? https://common-lisp.net/project/ecl/static/manual/ch26.html
22:34:22oni-on-ionahh. afaik on my tablet (win8.1) i've got ECL going with mingw
22:36:55k-hosI hadn't seen it, but I'm not sure how it applies
22:38:11k-hosstandalone program is what I am trying to get, preferably by compiling all files involved and not loading them at run time
22:39:56oni-on-ionk-hos: well. bulding programs and choosing a C compiler i think are very related concepts. you did say that you checked the manual and i did not intend to not believe you but i did a google search and thats where i ended up
22:40:21oni-on-ioni think if it loads C files at runtime that would be still just Compile Time.
