RE: [Chicken-users] some more compilation difficulties

[Jonah Beckford]

I used the http://www.call-with-current-continuation.org/chicken-1.50.tar.gz tar ball, and built with VC++ 7 (Start\Programs\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Visual Studio .NET Tools\Visual Studio .NET Command Prompt).  It compiled without problems.

 

I would just try rerunning “nmake –f makefile.vc” again; if it doesn’t work, you should be able to force csi.exe to be generated by trying “nmake –f makefile.vc csi.exe” first.

 

I also would make sure csi.exe isn’t already generated.  If it is, maybe it is just your PATH (which should not be a problem on Win32) or something else.

the compiler is probably VC++7 (or maybe 7.1, whichever is in visual studio academic edition 2003 .net). 
and just in case it may help locate what went wrong, the runtime, library and eval object files were already created when the error occurred.
the version I downloaded was the .tar.gz of 1.50  (I didn't see the .zip that you mentioned)

 

and yes, my steps thus far have been only to extract the files and run

'nmake -f makefile.vc'

 

Thanks for offering to help, I really appreciate it.

(especially since I have essentially zero experience compiling programs using makefiles and such)

What have you done so far? 

    I assume you have obtained the .zip or .tar.gz package from the website (which one and which version?)

    Have your only steps so far been to extract the package and run nmake f makefile.vc?

What version of VC++ are you using  VC++ 6 or VC++ 7 or VC++ 7.1 (the free VC compiler that comes with .NET SDK)?

 

I can try to recreate your steps and see what happened.

Felix,

 I did as you had advised, which worked, but I encountered the following problem which halted the compilation process.

 

"

csi -script psyntax-bootstrap.scm

'csi' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'csi' : return code '0x1'

Stop.

"

does this mean that I need this csi program inorder to complete the compilation or am I missing something?

 

Thanks for all you help thus far,

Carter
