Hi all,
who is running chicken on Windows 10 here? How do you manage? I'm not sold
to msys; I just tried first time and failed miserably.
Any idea how to do a better setup (for chicken 5 release candidates)
welcome.
Maybe we can fix the support for msys2 nevertheless;
So far I found two issues on Windows 10 + msys2 + mingw-w64:
1. chicken-install does not pick up the contents of setup.defaults by
itself.
Workaround: chicken-install -defaults
/usr/local/share/chicken/setup.defaults
-- which is saying: give the defaults from the installation on the
command line again.
-- This does the download and generates the build scripts (*.build.bat)
2. Using "start" to open a window running cmd.exe I found that I can not
call chicken-do using the full path. As it is in the PATH variable I tried
to copy the invocation line with only the path leading to chicken-do
removed.
This leads to:
/usr/local/bin/csc -host -D compiling-extension -J -s -setup-mode -I
C:\msys64\home\... ... ....so
creating subprocess failed
Best
