Re: [Chicken-users] Win32 maintainer needed.. Mingw install?

[Bob McIsaac]

I tried MinGw and found it wasn't "the simplest thing that could
possibly work" (as Ward Cunningham might say).  That is the fate
of Unix tools on the Windows platform... compromises, work arounds,
and special cases are inevitable resulting in some obfuscation.

On the other hand, I briefly tried http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html.
It was a simple install which contained the essentials of Mingw. But I
don't know enough to recommend that tool at this time.
