So, assuming you have extracted the sources into "c:\tmp\chicken-4.6.3", do cd c:\tmp\chicken-4.6.3 mingw32-make PLATFORM=mingw PREFIX=c:/chicken mingw32-make PLATFORM=mingw PREFIX=c:/chicken install After the last command, "c:\chicken" should (among other stuff) contain a "bin" directory. You can add this to your PATH and everything should work from there on.
