I saw the compilation failed, and other errors, and the ellipses hint at yet more trace information, but my original question is really about some eggs installing, and a variety of others failing on Windows. I will try them on my Linux box to see if I have similar issues with library locations, and

BTW, here is the log from just trying to install Termbox with no dependencies to compare with the Hypergiant log. I'm wondering if it might be the forward slashes in the change to current directory in the second line below? However, it seems to be missing or has a faulty 'setup-api' extension per t

Maybe Hypergiant was the wrong egg to use as example, because of all of its dependencies. I installed GLFW and GLEW in Windows (SystemWOW64 directory for 32-bit dlls), and in MinGW (c:\MinGW-32\ming32\bin directory). I did a command in the MinGW command prompt to find out which directories it searc

Hi Robert, As it seems your goal is to get Hypergiant running on Windows, I have to let you know that you're venturing into uncharted territory. It's not something I've ever tried before! That said, there error that you've shared with us is fairly straight-forward: > ingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot fi

I am running Windows 10, with MinGW-64 32-bit version, since I have the Windows binary for CHICKEN-IUP which is 32-bit. Some eggs have installedj fine - format, sql-de-lite, Spiffy, and other spiffy eggs, numbers, srfi's, gl-math, awful, and awful-server, but others - blas, hypergiant, hyperscene,
