[Chicken-users] New C5 egg: color
I've ported the color egg to Chicken 5. I've followed Kristian's lead and used cond-expand to keep backwards-compatibility with Chicken 4. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fadein/chicken-color/master/color.release-info Best, -- Erik Falor Registered Linux User #445632http://unnovative.net signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
Re: [Chicken-users] Chicken on Windows 10 - Was: [ANN] CHICKEN 5.0.0 release candidate 2 available
Thanks Kristian, problem solved: Operating system: MINGW64_NT-10.0 Hardware platform: x86-64 C Compiler: gcc.exe (Rev1, Built by MSYS2 project) 8.2.0 Installation works?: yes Tests work?: yes Installation of eggs works?: yes Surprisingly the pathname issue went away. I guess this is already documented in the README "disguised" as "Cygwin will not be able to find the chicken shared libraries until Windows is rebooted". Thanks again for all the work which went into CHICKEN. /Jörg On Sep 17 2018, Kristian Lein-Mathisen wrote: Hi Jorg, If I'm not mistaken, the Readme mentions says that you have to specify a PREFIX for Windows builds.

Hi Jorg, If I'm not mistaken, the Readme mentions says that you have to specify a PREFIX for Windows builds. I'm guilty os trying the same "shortcut". And obs: use forward slashes and include the drive letter and colon! I don't know what's happing with the absolute-pathname trouble - I never ran into that issue.
