I have been installing chicken for years now locally only. For this I do have a subdirectory ~/chickens which contain the full chicken tree of each version (4.8.0.5 / 4.9.0.1 / master / etc) installed there with the PREFIX set to ~/chickens/whatever while building. To access a particular version I do have a symling in the chickens directory "use-this" which points to the corresponding version. My PATH includes ~/chickens/use-this/bin and I use chicken-select to switch between versions. chicken-install just works fine with this kind of setup. It is easy, no hassle to set up additional environment variables and it works just fine. Maybe that's also a valid option for you? Kind regards, Christian P.S.: You can find chicken-select in the chicken-belt egg. -- May you be peaceful, may you live in safety, may you be free from suffering, and may you live with ease. _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
