I seem to be able to get chicken to install and run OK on MSYS (includes MINGW, naturally). Here's the steps I followed:
Open up a MSYS shell git clone http://chicken.wiki.br/git/chicken-core.git cd chicken-core make PLATFORM=mingw-msys confclean mmake='make PLATFORM=mingw-msys PREFIX=C:/msys/1.0/local' $mmake bootstrap $mmake CHICKEN=./chicken-boot $mmake install Create a file hello.scm: (declare (uses extras)) ; necessary for compilation using write-line (write-line "chicken scheme says hello") csi hello.scm # gives a warning about declares being ignored - can be safely ignored csc hello.scm && hello # gives output as expected Phew! Felix, I haven't forgotten about testing cygwin for you. I'll get on to it ASAP. Also, I think it's worthwhile incorporating some of the above information in the README file, so that people can get up and running as quickly as possible. I can provide a patch if that would be helpful. _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
