Re: [Chicken-users] booting from old Chickens

Maybe I just missed the point of your exercise ;) When you fetch the darcs head, you don't get the C versions of all the various Scheme files, including the compiler, so you need to have an existing csc on the system to even start. Minor correction: my CMake build requires a working chicken and a working csi.  It does not require a working csc.  csc is not used in my build at all.  Actually I could probably get rid of the csi dependency now.  Previously, my build of csi wasn't working, so I started relying on an extant csi to do the work.  Later I found the bug.  So now I could probably build my own csi, or my own silex, like I was doing before that problem came about. This doesn't affect people who are installing a tarball, but if you are trying to install the current head, the issue is how old the installed compiler can be before it doesn't work. Right.  At present, the CMake build is known to handle Chicken 2.3 compilers.  I'd like to test 2.2 but my question about where to get it has gotten lost in the shuffle.  I'll post it again.
