Re: [Chicken-users] Does chicken include a C compiler (ie. you don't have to install a seperate compiler)?

Is there anything compiler-specific on the wiki to indicate that it
wouldn't work?

The only page I can remember offhand that talks about portability is
http://wiki.call-cc.org/portability and that has some mentions of the
Sun C compiler.  From that it's unclear whether Chicken works with
gcc on OpenSolaris or not, but that makes sense; there are just some
useful data points to indicate that someone tested it with this or that
version and that it worked for them.

Cheers,
