[Chicken-users] embedded scheme + static libraries on windows platform

[Andrey Fomichev]

Hello!

I'm using chicken as a scheme implementation, which can be easily integrated
into C/C++ program (embedded scheme). Concerning me, chicken is a very good
and helpful software. Thank you very much, Felix, for good work!

But now I have a question. The version of chicken I've been using for a long
time was 0.1072... Yes, it's really old, but it works fine for me. But now I
decided to switch to the latest release (1.50) and noticed that there were
made
some changed to entry point interface and libraries (they have another
names now, for example). So, I got across with the following problem.

Suppose I have two files
- entry.scm with the entry point defined
- main.cpp with the function main and call to CHICKEN_invoke
To create the .exe  file I use the following commands (the platform is
Windows 2000, the C/C++ compiler is from .NET package):

chicken entry.scm
cl /c -DC_EMBEDDED entry.c
cl /c /EHsc -DC_EMBEDDED main.cpp
link main.obj entry.obj libchicken.lib libsrfi-chicken.lib
libstuffed-chicken.lib

This works fine and I get main.exe file. Unfortunately, this file requires
respected
dlls to be able to work. What I want is to make standalone .exe file. How
can I do it?

If I change libs to the analogous libs with the -static suffix during the
linking phase
(what is the most straightforward way from my point of view) I get an error.
Another words, executing the following command

link main.obj entry.obj libchicken-static.lib libsrfi-chicken-static.lib
libstuffed-chicken-static.lib

I get the following messages:
