Very well! May i invite you to update the ARM lines on http://wiki.call-cc.org/portability ? No login required... Also your dyndns entries don't resolve to something listening on the other side for me... Thanks for making our docs more accurate!

Re: [Chicken-users] Survey results
Oops I wasn't paying attention and missed the survey. I run chicken most often on Linux, 64-bit, looks like I have 4.5.0 at the moment. Also have 4.5.0 on MacOS. I was using chicken on OpenMoko (an ARM platform, really nobody else is running on arm?) and on a Zaurus before that, but that was version 3... I don't think I got around to trying 4 yet, and haven't been doing anything there for a couple years anyway. And I have tried it on Windows XP at some point, but not recently.

It's true, for haiku, Windows and solaris, and some architectures. I myself use it on NetBSD on both amd64(x86_64) and macppc, and I know that Alaric uses it on NetBSD as well (the "lone" NetBSD user in Christian's results is someone else), so we have more NetBSD users than the poll results suggest. I expect the same to be true for the other platforms.

Those are indeed loners, but beware that there may be a lot more people hiding or not reading the ML but using chicken happily on these systems. > The cross product of the operating system and cpu architecture usage > suggests we don't really test enough combinations of os and cpu. > It's too bad there isn't any ARM platform use.

I forgot to mention that I have counted the number of installations of chickens, indeed the # Users column is misleading. Most people run more than one chicken on more than one machine. I am one of the OpenBSD users myself and no I haven't bothered patching the compiler to emit safe variants of strcat etc. Kind regards, Christian ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users

I would have guessed that number to be lower. We have some critical users, namely our single MIPS person and the lone FreeBSD, Haiku, and NetBSD people.

Dear Chicken Fans! Thank you very much for all your replies during the last week(s). I have updated the portability page accordingly.
