I've built it with a bare MinGW ... TDM version 4.3.3, so its safe to assume it'll work the vanila 3.x stable: just start cmd.exe, cd to where you unpacked the tarball, add the mingw /bin to the path (with "set PATH=%PATH%;C:\MinGW\bin" or whatnot) and run:
mingw32-make PLATFORM=mingw PREFIX=C:/chicken (or whatever you want the install path to be) (note the forward-slash on the prefix) when its done install it with mingw32-make PLATFORM=mingw PREFIX=<YOUR_PREFIX> install Oh, you probably wont be able to build it using 3.4, so you'll either want to bootstrap (with "bootstrap", see the README) or build 3.5 as a stepping-stone.
