Yes, somehow the libffi maintainers seem to be reluctant or unable to make proper, regular releases. There is a win32 version of it in the PLT CVS repo, and somewhere on my hard-disk at work. If you are interested, I can send you the code (might need a few days). cheers, felix _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
