You should be able to build the DLLs using MSVC and selecting the
"Debug" project. But that actually just turns off optimization;
debugging ".pdb" files are generated with the "Release" build.

I'm not sure why he debugger wants "sgc.lib", since that's used only
for the "SGC" project. Try building the "SGC" project, and then
re-build the "Release" project, and maybe that will make the debugger
happy.


But are you calling scheme_basic_env() directly? Normally you should
use scheme_main_setup() or scheme_main_stack_setup(), which sets GC and
thread parameters before calling scheme_basic_env().
