After struggling horribly, trying (and failing) to get ECL running in
Windows I am really looking for a better experience.
I tend to use "pure" Windows XP and free C/C++ tools so either GNU gcc
is fine or MS Visual C++ 2005. Note that I don't have access to MSVC
the commercial version. Is it possible to install and build a good
working version of Chicken on Windows XP:
1. At all.
2. Yes if you are a MAKE, Linux, Windows and C++ expert and have the
patience of Job
3. Yes, but only under Cygwin etc. (of which I know very little except
they can be a pain to use/maintain as well)
4. Yes but only with the commercial MSVC or very specific versions of
certain software.
5. Yes but with some combination I haven't mentioned or thought of.
6. YES Easily!!
7. YES - I can download latest virus-free executable version for
Windows from .... (please supply URL)
Please let me know in detail how I go about this as I am not an expert
in any of the above 1-5.
(prays for 6 or 7 .......)
I've never had any problem building Chicken with MSVC, using nmake and
the included windows
makefile. I believe I also built it once with gcc and cygwin, but only
as a test. I use cygwin for its
tools, not as a development target.
