I'm not sure exactly what your build looks like, but from the errors you're getting, I can glean two issues: - It sounds like you are mixing mingw stuff and powershell. CHICKEN 5 supports either, but you have to keep using the same platform you used to build CHICKEN (so either all CMD.COM or all mingw-msys tools; Powershell isn't supported AFAIK). CHICKEN 6 dropped CMD.COM (plain mingw, without msys) support so you'll have to use msys everywhere. - It sounds like you may have used backslashes for the target path while building. You *must* use forward slashes everywhere if I remember correctly. The README should mention this. So you probably have to build from scratch and fix the issues above, then try again. Cheers, Peter
