[Chicken-users] building under windows

[Răzvan Rotaru]

Hi,

I'm currently trying to build chicken for windows, and am stuck in the following step:

echo.>buildbranch
echo.>buildid
chicken.exe  .\build-version.scm -optimize-level 2 -include-path . -include-path .\ -inline -ignore-repository -feature
chicken-bootstrap -no-warnings  -explicit-use -no-trace -output-file build-version.c
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, chicken.exe .\build-version.scm -optimize-level 2 -include-path . -include-path ". -i
nline" -ignore-repository -feature chicken-bootstrap -no-warnings -explicit-use -no-trace -output-file build-version.c,
...) failed.
make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.
.\rules.make:558: recipe for target 'build-version.c' failed
mingw32-make[2]: *** [build-version.c] Error 2
mingw32-make[2]: Leaving directory 'D:/personal/chicken-4.8.0'
.\rules.make:678: recipe for target 'boot-chicken' failed
mingw32-make[1]: *** [boot-chicken] Error 2
mingw32-make[1]: Leaving directory 'D:/personal/chicken-4.8.0'
GNUmakefile:60: recipe for target 'boot-chicken' failed
mingw32-make: *** [boot-chicken] Error 2

It seems like I need to have chicken.exe. Can't I compile it without bootstrapping?
