Thanks for this very useful information! We should put this somewhere for later reference. > Only the OpenBSD-packaged version of chicken-install (4.13.0) shows > compiler warnings.

Is there an equivalent flag to show compiler > stuff in the never versions? The -verbose flag doesn't seem to do it. No, there is no -debug option in 5.x, -verbose is all there is, but the build + install scripts are available and may be of use for analyzing the exact build steps. > > Adding some flag(s) to chicken-install to easily get (mostly) > reproducible builds would be a big help for testing like this.

"-purge" is a separate operation and can not be combined with the step of installing an egg. "-no-install" will leave the build results in the cache, so you have to peel what you need out of that location. felix _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
