After struggling horribly, trying (and failing) to get ECL running in
Windows I am really looking for a better experience.

I tend to use "pure" Windows XP and free C/C++ tools so either GNU gcc is
fine or MS Visual C++ 2005. Note that I don't have access to MSVC the
commercial version. Is it possible to install and build a good working
version of Chicken on Windows XP:

1. At all.
2. Yes if you are a MAKE, Linux, Windows and C++ expert and have the
patience of Job
3. Yes, but only under Cygwin etc. (of which I know very little except they
can be a pain to use/maintain as well)
4. Yes but only with the commercial MSVC or very specific versions of
certain software.
5. Yes but with some combination I haven't mentioned or thought of.
6. YES Easily!!
7. YES - I can download latest virus-free executable version for Windows
from .... (please supply URL)


Please let me know in detail how I go about this as I am not an expert in
any of the above 1-5.

(prays for 6 or 7 .......)

Option #7 has worked just fine for me with the free msvc tools.
