The extension opengl does not exist.
Do you want to download it ? (yes/no/abort) [yes]

There's your culprit -- the back-slash after eggs: it should be
/eggs/repository.
The Chicken 2.41 tarball built on VS71 with nmake -f makefile.vc fails
in the same way. This is not a CMake-specific problem. Rather, it's
either a general problem with eggs on MSVC, which are making an
inappropriate use of a Windows style pathname. My suspicion falls on
_make-pathname in utils.scm, but if there's a platform-specific
behavior, it's not clear to me.
The platform specific behavior is in library.scm, buried as a primitive:
(define ##sys#pathname-directory-separator
(let ([st (software-type)])
(if (and (eq? 'windows st) (not (eq? (build-platform) 'cygwin)))
#\\
#\/) ) )
This is wrong for a URL. I haven't exactly figured it out, but it
appears that make-pathname is being used for URL construction, which
ultimately ends up with system-specific behavior when it shouldn't. I
am still jobhunting / trying to keep a roof over my head / avoid
eviction 2 weeks hence. I don't have the time to decide what the proper
design should be. Additional eyeballing appreciated.
Cheers,
