I'm not completely sure, but here's what I think: * the documentation for lazy-ffi has been copied from the release/3 branch (eggs repository) and some information regarding to the chicken tools became outdated. * csc for chicken 3 has a -extension command line option (and -extend too). It seems that csc for chicken 4 doesn't have -extension, but it has -extend. * as far as I understand the argument to -extend may be the name of an extension, since it calls (load (##sys#resolve-include-filename thing #f #t)) behind the scenes. Here on my system I get: (##sys#resolve-include-filename "lazy-ffi" #f #t) "/usr/local/chicken-4.4.4/lib/chicken/5/lazy-ffi.so" So, I think the correct command line option is really -extend. Since I'm not completely sure, I'll let Felix decide how to fix it. Best wishes.
