[Chicken-users] [ANN] Chicken on Raspberry Pi
I want to announce that Chicken 4.7.0.6 builds & runs on a Raspberry Pi (http://www.raspberrypi.org/). I did this without the need to hack any files or pass any exotic arguments to make. It just worked. I didn't time(1) the build, but judging by the timestamps on the artifacts I estimate that it took over 1 hour 40 minutes to complete. I've tested it by chicken-installing some eggs and rebuilding some projects that I've worked on. So far, so good! As of this writing I'm still building some eggs on my Pi (as I said, it is a bit slow). I suppose I should spend some time setting up a cross-compilation env on my Gentoo desktop. I'll update my progress on my blog at unnovative.net. Now I'd like to see Alaric Snell-Pym's great idea come to fruition: http://www.snell-pym.org.uk/archives/2012/08/01/getting-kids-into-programming-and-what-the-raspberry-pi-is-lacking/ -- Erik Falor http://unnovative.net Registered Linux User #445632 http://linuxcounter.net signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users

Wow, I've been wondering what to do with my Raspberry Pi and Alaric's idea looks fantastic. martin On Thu, Aug 2, 2012 at 11:01 AM, Erik Falor wrote: > I want to announce that Chicken 4.7.0.6 builds & runs on a Raspberry > Pi (http://www.raspberrypi.org/). > > I did this without the need to hack any files or pass any exotic > arguments to make.

Go, Lazyweb, go :-D Adafruit have produced a Linux image for the Pi that has hardware drivers for all the I/O: http://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-raspberry-pi-educational-linux-distro/occidentalis-v0-dot-1 This would be a good basis for a Chicken egg to drive that seductive I/O port!
