Hi Joerg, I was trying C5rc1 on win10 i few weeks ago and had to do some tweaking to get it working og msys2 (which was surprisingly comfortable to use).
I also had a problem with chicken-install not downloading anything at first. The symptom became clearer when I did chicken-install -update-db. I realised I wasn't using an absolute path for PREFIX when invoking make. Doing something like make PLATFORM=mingw-msys PREFIX=C:/c5/ solved the issue, maybe you've run into the same problem? I never tried to change the defaults, so this may be completely unrelated. K. On Wed, Sep 12, 2018, 16:15 Jörg F.
