MSVC support is gone. The Microsoft compilers are not particularly robust (in particular there have been problems with VC 7.0 Express, IIRC). Maintaining the build for the inadequate and hard to automate tools provided by M$ was something that I considered not worth the weffort. Also because it would require keeping up to date with proprietary development software. Mingw works quite well, has the better compiler (in terms of maintenance and quality, IMHO), is open source and allows cross-compiling. cheers, felix _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
