[Chicken-users] Supporting libraries on Windows

[Tim Lavoie]

Hello,

Is there a recognized "best" way to install C libraries where they'll
be found on Windows? For instance, the openssl egg requires the
OpenSSL libraries. On Linux, it's trivial to install the correct
libraries with development add-ons.

Would the best plan be to:

  1) Install native libs on Windows, then adapt egg install parameters
     to find them?

  2) Copy directly (from somewhere) into the Chicken-specific include
     and lib directories?

  3) Try to use those available under Cygwin?

Cheers,
Tim
