Re: Chicken 5 compilation, coerced inexact literal number warning. What am I missing here?

[Matt Welland]

Yes, you are correct, the error from not finding the .h was spurious. On looking again I noticed that there is a fixnum directive in the hostinfo.scm file:

(declare
 (fixnum))

Prior to finding .h message I was including the hostinfo.scm file and then later importing it. When I converted it to a compilation unit the fixnum no longer applied.

hm, if possible could you figure out what exactly did that?
A C header file shouldn't change the compiler's mode!

Glad to hear you figured out how to solve the issue though!

Cheers,
