Subject: [Chicken-users] Install of 4.8.0 under windows (mingw) fails
Date: Sat, 24 Nov 2012 16:36:10 -0700

 I'm trying to bring chicken-iup up to date but having problems getting a
 working base chicken install.
 
 Installing under mingw-msys gives me a working csi but chicken-install does
 not work (it can't find the repository).

What installation prefix did you select when you built and installed
it? (The parameters given to make(1))

 
 Installing under mingw gives me this:
 
 chicken.exe  .\build-version.scm -optimize-level 2 -include-path .
 -include-path
  .\ -inline -ignore-repository -feature chicken-bootstrap -no-warnings
 -speciali
 ze -types .\types.db   -explicit-use -no-trace -output-file build-version.c
 process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, chicken.exe .\build-version.scm
 -optimize-lev
 el 2 -include-path . -include-path . -inline -ignore-repository -feature
 chick
 en-bootstrap -no-warnings -specialize -types .\types.db -explicit-use
 -no-trace
 -output-file build-version.c, ...) failed.
 make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.
 mingw32-make[1]: *** [build-version.c] Error 2
 mingw32-make[1]: Leaving directory `Z:/chicken-iup/chicken-4.8.0'
 mingw32-make: *** [all] Error 2

This is a bug in the build files, unfortunately. Please extract the
files from the 4.8.0 tarball and remove the line in rules.make which
looks like this:

  .PHONY: buildid buildbranch

(or something similar)

Otherwise buildversion.scm will always be recompiled, and requires
chicken.exe, which hasn't been created yet.


cheers,
felix

Anyway, it's good to see.

Interesting.  We did recently make it easier to get eggs published,
with the creation of the distributed egg repository./speculation

I've noticed some folks have been pimping Chicken on Reddit whenever it's
topical. Many of those targetted seem to be looking for a powerful
lisp-like language with an acceptable license for commercial work and a
friendly, active community; Chicken fits that niche rather nicely.

Or perhaps it's because of the prominent Schemes that have been
historically active; Chicken and Racket are really the only two that have
substantial third-party module repositories?
