[Chicken-users] compiling with MSVC

[Wietse Jacobs]

Hello,

I'm trying to compile chicken with MSVC. I've downloaded the
repository and have the unixutils in my path. This is what I get:

D:\source\chicken-scheme>make PLATFORM=msvc PREFIX=c:\chicken4 bootstrap
make -f ./Makefile.msvc bootstrap
make[1]: Entering directory `D:/source/chicken-scheme'

I've been able to find out that 'alloca.h' doesn't exist on windows,
but I still don't know how to fix the error...

Thanks,
