mingw is a reasonable platform to develop on, if you want absolutely bare-bones support for chicken and are not interested in GNU tools. It's a build for Windows that only needs gcc and make. mingw-msys is for people who need basic GNU tools and sh (that would be me, for example). cheers, felix _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
