[...] thank you both very much more your hints! Based on them I was able to build and install Chicken using the following steps where the 4.8.0rc1 source tarball is extracted into `nextstable' and Git master is cloned into `devel': 1. Within `nextstable': make PLATFORM=linux 2. After entering `devel': LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../nextstable make PLATFORM=linux \ CHICKEN=../nextstable/chicken boot-chicken 3. make PLATFORM=linux CHICKEN=./chicken-boot 4. make PLATFORM=linux PREFIX=/path/to/install/chicken I've noted that the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' setting in 2. is essential if `nextstable' is not part of standard library load path or if you have a to-old standard installation of Chicken already on your system.
This procedure worked both for Debian unstable x86_64 and Arch Linux x86_64. Cheers, Dirk _______________________________________________ Chicken-hackers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-hackers
