[Chicken-users] Newbie installing eggs on windows

[Wietse Jacobs]

Hello,

I'm on Windows XP, with mingw-msys and chicken 3.0.0 installed.

I've been going through the list archives and was able to figure out
how to install eggs manualy. I'd like to end up having http installed
and I've been working my way up the "egg-tree" (or is it basket?). I'm
now stuck with openssl, when I run chicken-setup I get the following
errors:

openssl.c:21:28: openssl/rand.h: No such file or directory
openssl.c:32:25: openssl/err.h: No such file or directory
openssl.c:33:25: openssl/ssl.h: No such file or directory

And indeed: those files are missing. Does this mean I have to install
openssl first? Anyway, when I do, and then copy the openssl header
files to mingw/include, I get the following error:

C:\chicken\downloaded\openssl>chicken-setup
  "/chicken/bin/csc" -feature compiling-extension -O2 -d0
-check-imports -s openssl.scm -lssl -lcrypto -lgdi32 -o openss

Can anybody shed some light?
