svn head as of yesterday. I hope I got around it changing Makefile.cross-linux-mingw like this: # commands HOSTSYSTEM=i586-mingw32msvc CHICKEN=chicken But I'm not yet there that I have tried the result. > > I checked the current svn head.

Well, in the second step I tried to build a cross compiler to create windows binaries from the chicken host. Eventually I tried mingw-chicken-setup - the cross compile thingy - to set up easiffy. Since that's a host extension, I passed the -host-extension option, but that one did *not* pass the "-host" to csc! Therefore I changed the define-macro as above. Currently there is this: (define-macro (compile . explist) `(run (csc ,@explist) ) ) That means the -host-extension option is ignored. _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
