Hey,
I'm glad that it worked for you. Regarding compiling to a file, you may specify c-file, h-file and data-file as keyword arguments to compile-file, if definitions are kept then these files won't be removed.
Best regards, Daniel

First off, I very much appreciate your patience and help as I got this going. But I HAVE got it going.
I used the MS Visual Studio nmake to get it working and it's the 32-bit not the 64-bit. I may poke at trying 64-bit along the way but it's lower priority.
I do have to run "(ext:install-c-compiler)" each time I start the ECL REPL, just FYI.
The biggest issue I faced was that my Lisp code wouldn't compile. First it complained about missing .h files and then it complained about missing .lib files. Basically, it needed system level additional pathing for both the .h files and the .lib files passed to "cl".
This may or may not be the best solution, but what I did was change cmpmain.lsp to include two new variables (c::*ecl-include-directory-extra* and c::*ecl-library-directory-extra*). They are both lists and they are "extra" directories needed during the compile and linking phases.
The values I had to set mine to were: (setf c::*ecl-include-directory-extra* '("c:/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/10/Include/10.0.18362.0/ucrt/" "c:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0/VC/include/" "c:/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/10/Include/10.0.18362.0/um/" "c:/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/10/Include/10.0.18362.0/shared/" )) (setf c::*ecl-library-directory-extra* '("c:/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/10/Lib/10.0.18362.0/um/x86/" "c:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0/VC/lib/" "c:/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/10/Lib/10.0.18362.0/ucrt/x86/" ))
I've attached my modified cmpmain.lsp. Please feel free to use/not use, etc. however you desire (legal release granted blah blah blah).
A minor issue I'm currently facing is that I'd like to look at the C code generated but when I set "(setq si::*keep-definitions* t)" it doesn't seem to have any effect. If there's another way to keep the C code, please let me know.
Also, the exe that's generated only seems to want to work right if the ecl.dll is in the same directory, but that's fairly minor right now.
The next goal I have is to try and connect my Lisp up to C/C++ code and generate an actual working Windows GUI program (meaning actually create a window but having the drawing portion of the window and the Windows messaging be handled by Lisp code, ideally allowing real-time modification of the LIsp while the window still up and running). I'll send updates as appropriate. I may create a blog post somewhere with my ongoing adventures.
Thanks again for your help, Garrett Dangerfield.

Garrett: please put ecl-devel as the address (that may be my fault that I've hit reply earlier).
Re your problem, please ensure, that c compiler is in the path.

Thoughts? Were there other settings I needed to tweak during the ECL compile?
Thanks, Garrett.

So if I use Visual Studio, will I still use cygwin to do the ./configure?

I tried your suggestions and I tried the cygwin patch as well, no luck, that's why I tried to pull cygwin out of the equation. Neither seem to be producing an EXE that could understand an external compiler.
With the non-cygwin configuration, I'm baffled on why configure says things are kosher but the compile fails for missing file, though.
Thoughts?
No, sorry. All I can think of is using msvc. Generally ECL expects that he C compiler used will be the same compiler ECL was built with itself.
Thanks, Garrett.

That said, did you try my previous suggestion with passing appropriate flags to cygwin?

Obviously, on windows I still have to use cygwin as my shell because that's what configure expects.
Thoughts?
Thanks, Garrett.

./configure --prefix=/my/cygwin/prefix --with-cmp=yes make && make install
Then C compiler should be available (you may still need to call (ext:install-c-compiler), you need to check it yourself because I don't remember whether bytecodes compiler is installed by default on cygwin, it is for msvc).
If it still doesn't work, please include a result of calling this code snippet:
