[Larceny-users] License and compilation on Windows 7

Hello,

I'm trying understand the implications of the LGPL license. If I have 
understood
correctly, the way to distribute a closed source application with 
Larceny would
be to package Larceny with the compiled files (fasls or custom heap) 
and make a
script that executes the wanted pieces. Would doing this violate the 
license?
And if so, what would I have to do to not violate the license? Would 
this even
be the preferred way to distribute an application with Larceny?


Also, I tried to do a full compile of the sources on Windows 7 x64 with 
the latest
Microsoft's SDK and nasm (versions 2.05rc1, 2.10.04). Everything seems 
to go fine
until trying to create the heap images. The compiled "larceny.bin" 
crashes. I can
add all the other information I've managed to gather to a trac ticket, 
if there's
interest in this. (I tried both the prepackaged src and the src from 
svn.)

Thanks, Mikko
