To build chicken from SVN trunk you need an installed chicken.  You
can pass a value for CHICKEN to make to indicate where chicken is:

$ make PLATFORM-=my-platform CHICKEN=/path/to/chicken 

(where `chicken' is a binary file)

If you don't have chicken installed, you can get the latest tarball
from http://chicken.wiki.br/releases.  You don't need chicken to build
the code of these tarballs -- a C compiler is enough.

Best wishes,
Mario
