Can it be explained? It is definitely not normal, and I can't explain it. I've never seen this happen, and I've built CHICKEN on Windows quite a few times already. > - How to avoid this behavior? Without knowing why it happens, I'm afraid I can't tell you how to avoid it. > Conditions: > - Windows 7 64-bits, Intel > - Compiled from sources with Mingw (tried with mingw32-64 SJLC, mingw32-64 > FEH) > - Chicken Scheme 4.9.0.1 (also tried with chicken-4.6.3, chicken-4.8.0.5, > chicken-4.8.1) > - With the makefile.mingw and makefile.mingw-MSYS (msys binaries of 2011) Perhaps this has something to do with mingw32-64. Did you read the README instructions to invoke mingw32-make with "ARCH=x86-64" and use forward slashes in all paths? If not, does that help? If it doesn't help, is it at all possible to do a 32-bit build on 64-bit Windows?
