[Chicken-users] CMake builds on Cygwin

[Brandon J. Van Every]

The Chicken Darcs repository can now be built using CMake 2.4.2 on both 
MinGW / MSYS and on Cygwin, if you have a Chicken compiler already 
installed.  This means it is also very likely to build on Linux.  I 
don't know about on MacOS as I'm not familiar with how it differs from 
other Unixy systems.  I'm now going to try to kick VC++ into shape.  
Borland and Watcom builds are also theoretically possible, although I 
have no CMake experience on these platforms.

I encourage you to try the build out on your system, to shake out what 
options need to be set on different platforms.  This is of course not 
production quality stuff yet.  The build instructions in Darcs are MSYS 
specific and probably out of date.  You'll need some basic intelligence 
to do the build, but if you know how to use CMake already, it's trivial.
