[Chicken-users] Windows 10, mingw-w64, chicken 4.11 - install fails with "Invalid number of parameters"

[Claude Marinier]

Allô,

I am attempting to build chicken 4.11 on Windows 10 64-bit with mingw-w64 using the following command. I downloaded and installed a fresh copy of mingw-w64 yesterday.

mingw32-make PLATFORM=mingw PREFIX=C:/Chicken ARCH=x86-64

.

.

.

mingw32-make PLATFORM=mingw PREFIX=C:/Chicken ARCH=x86-64 install

.

.

.

xcopy /Y feathers.bat "C:/Chicken/bin"

Invalid number of parameters

.\rules.make:363: recipe for target 'install-bin' failed

mingw32-make: *** [install-bin] Error 4

I got around it like this.

mingw32-make --just-print PLATFORM=mingw PREFIX=C:/Chicken ARCH=x86-64 install > temp.bat

I then executed the new batch file.

The installation seems to have worked but ...

I can chicken-install the numbers egg but check fails (see next message).
