I want to announce that Chicken 4.7.0.6 builds & runs on a Raspberry Pi (http://www.raspberrypi.org/).
I did this without the need to hack any files or pass any exotic arguments to make. It just worked. I didn't time(1) the build, but judging by the timestamps on the artifacts I estimate that it took over 1 hour 40 minutes to complete. I've tested it by chicken-installing some eggs and rebuilding some projects that I've worked on. So far, so good! As of this writing I'm still building some eggs on my Pi (as I said, it is a bit slow). I suppose I should spend some time setting up a cross-compilation env on my Gentoo desktop. I'll update my progress on my blog at unnovative.net. Now I'd like to see Alaric Snell-Pym's great idea come to fruition: http://www.snell-pym.org.uk/archives/2012/08/01/getting-kids-into-programming-and-what-the-raspberry-pi-is-lacking/ -- Erik Falor http://unnovative.net Registered Linux User #445632 http://linuxcounter.net
