Re: [Chicken-users] build irritations on windows xp

okay well, I started building with msys, had some problems with CMAKE
at first, when building got to the following part:

Linking C static library libchicken-boot.a

make[1]: *** [pcre/CMakeFiles/libpcre-for-static.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

Any explanation? Wrong PCRE?

Cheers,
