Re: [Chicken-users] Ann.: CHICKEN 4.0.0 released

[Leonardo Valeri Manera]

Anyway, Makefile.msvc grief: its using 'cat' where the CMD.EXE mingw
makefile isnt.

This is a pain because that comes in the coreutils package along with
GNU link which causes the msvc linker to be shadowed.

Subsequently it  falls on its face with a:

link -nologo -dll chicken.import.o -out: chicken.import.so \
         libchicken.lib \
         ws2_32.lib advapi32.lib
LINK : fatal error LNK1146: no argument specified with option '/out:'
make[1]: *** [chicken.import.so] Error 1146
make[1]: Leaving directory `C:/Dev/chicken-4.0.0'
make: *** [all] Error 2

(bad space, bad! no food for you!)

On the MinGW32 side, I've built it with

mingw32-make PLATFORM=mingw PREFIX=C:/Dev/chicken
C_COMPILER_OPTIMIZATION_OPTIONS="-O2 -march=native"
C_COMPILER=mingw32-gcc-4.3.3

'make check' passes, everything seems to work so far.
