Re: [Chicken-users] chicken 4.8.3 on MinGW

[Claude Marinier]

Hi,

I am happily using Chicken Scheme 4.8.3 on MS Windows 7 and Vista. The 
key is reading the README file and the helpful web page.

There is one problem: make check fails as follows. Note that I built from 
a Windows command prompt like this.

  mingw32-make PLATFORM=mingw PREFIX=C:/Chicken
  mingw32-make PLATFORM=mingw PREFIX=C:/Chicken install
  chicken-install numbers

All those work without error and I can compile and run my application.

I hope someone find this useful.
