It *used* to be possible to use CMake to configure/build Chicken on Windows (presumably with the MSVC compiler as well as mingw). I don't know why that option went away - I probably wasn't paying attention if it was ever discussed on the chicken-users list :). (BTW, if anyone can point me to any mailing list threads (either here or on chicken-hackers) talking about the buildsystem changes for 2.7, I'd appreciate it - thanks). Anyway, if you feel like trying it out, it looks like the CMake buildsystem is still available in the latest 2.6* release (2.637). http://chicken.wiki.br/releases/ As far as I understand the CMake system (ie. very approximately), I think on Windows you can use it to generate a Visual Studio "project" file or MSVC makefile(s) - which you can then use to build Chicken with the MS C/C++ compiler. > thanks, > nik Pete. -- percussive maintenance, n.
