Re: [Chicken-users] sqlite3 egg on cygwin

[Ashish Shrestha]

this is not a major issue. it is just the csc is called with -o sqlite.so so the output file is called sqlite.so instead of sqlite.dll. As a  result the rest of the installation fails. Just removing the -o argument to csc works fine.

Hello,

I wonder why this is a problem on Windows. At least on Unices CHICKEN
seems to load every piece of compiled code from .so files regardless of
the specific operating system's idea what the file extension for a shared
library should be. For example on MacOS X the dynamic libraries are
normally called .dylib, but CHICKEN uses .so for its compiled code and is
happy with that.

Is it impossible to load code from anything not called .dll on Windows?!?

Anyway, if this is really a problem, I can try to fix it in the next few
days. I just cannot test it, because I have no Windows machine available
at the moment.

cu,
Thomas
