Re: [Chicken-users] Build error

[David N Murray]

I thought this sounded familiar:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/chicken-users/2009-08/msg00069.html
But, there doesn't seem to be a resolution in the thread.

I couldn't get make PLATFORM=mingw-msys to work either, but I can't
remember why.  I did get 4.2.0 built using a command prompt (CMD, not sh)
with make PLATFORM=mingw.

hth,
Dave
