So after spending five hours on the windows installation, I just gave up. This is a real shame, because win32 should be an ideal platform for chicken, with its great integration with other languages. It would be lovely to have a nice win32 GUI wrapper. It would be cool to use direct-x. It would be cool to be able to use Microsoft Speech API, etc, etc. And I think the fixes in chicken-setup.scm wouldn't be all that hard. There should be a new "build-platform" -- msys (currently, there is only cygwin and windows) -- that does the right thing assuming that you want to build native windows applications within a MSYS environment. I've seen a open ticket which details the changes necessary: replacing the tar and gzip commands with scheme versions that come preinstalled with the distribution.
The basic problem is that we don't have a windows maintainer. cheers, felix _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
