For me base64 installs fine on a 32 bit Win7 Atom based netbook with chicken-iup installed. However http-client fails to install for want of openssl libs.

For 64 bit you may need to install chicken from scratch rather than use the chicken-iup installer or ensure that all the 32 bit DLLs are available and install 32bit MinGW but this is just speculation on my part. If you don't need Iup then installing chicken from scratch is straightforward.

Note that libintl-8.dll comes with MinGW (or on my system it can be found in C:/MinGW/bin).

Anyhow, I don't have a 64 bit version of Win7 to use for creating a chicken-iup for 64 bit so I won't be directly supporting Win7 64 bit with chicken-iup.

Cheers,

Matt
