I met the same error. I tried to compile a6nt in my Linux virtual machine, there is csv94.dll in binfolder, but it is a symlink. So if you do this on Windows, there will not be csv94.dll. I guess it is impossible to compile the executable on Windows now.

Yes, the windows build is a bit rickety, but it actually was recently tested and working. Part of the trick (as noted in the BUILDING document) is that you need to put the ChezScheme directory on a shared file system (for example on a samba share) and mount it from Windows. This lets the Linux side of the build do its part (running configure and setting up symlinks and the like) and the Windows side see it as though it was a just a normal file system.

It is suboptimal, but it was recently tested. Our setup for testing has been a Windows VM running on an older Fedora 13 machine, with the chezscheme directory hosted on the Fedora machine and Windows mounting the directory through samba.

@akeep Does it mean that you cannot use the compiled binary in a REAL Windows system (not a guest OS) now? Can we figure out a way to compile without using symlinks?

@metab0t No, the symlinks are only needed for the build process. Once things are complete you can copy the contents of the bin and boot directories (which are now the files that have been produced by the Windows C and Chez Scheme compilers).

can we just release an pre-build exe then we can use this to build our production!

I updated the build procedure for Windows so that a virtual machine is no longer required. It uses the Cygwin software on Windows to provide bash, make, etc.

Is this issue resolved?

Similar to #19, I think we can probably close this, since Windows build support was overhauled in the v9.9.9 merge.
