Re: [Chicken-users] Sendfile Egg and Cairo Egg Problems on Cygwin

[Nathan Thern]

Hi Yasuro,

I just verified that the chicken package in the cygwin repo (of which
I am the maintainer) exhibits the same behavior. I haven't had time to
look into it.

For me, the eggs "just work". I have yet to even try to make one
myself, so I don't know how far I will get when I get around to this.
Feel free to pursue it yourself - there's lots of helpful people on this ML.

regards,
NT
