Yes, that is much better. I've added this (version 0.95). > The second issue is likely with csc itself--I suspect it only considers > files with the .obj extension as objects on Windows.

I changed csc to use ".o" on Windows as well, the build of CHICKEN itself does this anyway and it removes another platform-specific thing. "csc" still accepts ".obj" when looking for static files, in the hope of keeping already installed object files working. Not sure how this works out. Can you give csm 0.95 and the CHICKEN git HEAD a try? cheers, felix
