[Chicken-users] eval.scm library.scm not handling Windows pathnames

[Brandon J. Van Every]

I'm trying to implement a hierarchical installation structure in the 
CMake build, with chicken-defaults.h, substitutions in csc.scm.in, etc.

The latest problem is that compilation of eval.c and library.c die 
because Windows drive letters are not liked, i.e. 
-DC_INSTALL_LIB_HOME="E:/Program Files/Chicken/lib" .  Note the forward 
slashes, which is what CMake prefers to output.  I could change that, 
but it seems Chicken prefers it that way as well.  Note also the space 
in the Windows program pathname, which is typical of native 
installations.  I haven't delved into whether Chicken has cleanup 
routines for this sort of thing.  I saw some stuff like that in 
csc.scm.in but I don't know if it works.  At last count, I was getting 
things like "E:/Program is worthless" or some such, meaning it was 
breaking at the space.  But now I can't even get that far in the build 
because I have to solve eval.c and library.c first.

Any pointers on what routines to look at?  I don't know if it's a 
quoting problem or if E: and spaces are foreign-speak.  My brain is 
fried from this stuff.  I'm going to gather signatures, go to a gallery, 
several hours of stuff.  I hope there's a helpful pointer when I get 
back so I can finish this thing.
