Hi,
Had trouble with this release on MS Windows Vista (32-bit). Re-installed
MinGW and tried again. Tried both from bash in MSYS and Windows' cmd. If
works for a while before dying. Here is the relevant portion.
gcc -Wl,--enable-auto-import -shared -Wl,--out-implib,libchicken.dll.a \
-o libchicken.dll library.o eval.o data-structures.o ports.o

Complete output available if needed.
Thanks.
