Re: [Chicken-users] chicken 4 on Windows

[Leonardo Valeri Manera]

I've built it with a bare MinGW ... TDM version 4.3.3, so its safe to
assume it'll work the vanila 3.x stable: just start cmd.exe, cd to
where you unpacked the tarball, add the mingw /bin to the path (with
"set PATH=%PATH%;C:\MinGW\bin" or whatnot) and run:

mingw32-make PLATFORM=mingw PREFIX=C:/chicken (or whatever you want
the install path to be) (note the forward-slash on the prefix)

when its done install it with

mingw32-make PLATFORM=mingw PREFIX=<YOUR_PREFIX> install

Oh, you probably wont be able to build it using 3.4, so you'll either
want to bootstrap (with "bootstrap", see the README) or build 3.5 as a
stepping-stone.

Cheers,
Leo
