Re: [Chicken-users] scgi doesn't compile for me

I'm reposting this, as it didn't make its way to the mailing list, 
apparently. The original problem it refers to seems to have been solved 
anyway, though...

Hello,

if you installed a standard distribution of CHICKEN, you may run into 
trouble compiling the egg, because I was very enthusiastic about a new 
compiler feature when I last packaged the egg and included certain 
command line switches which may still only be present in the developer 
version of CHICKEN that you can check out via darcs...

The good news is that those compiler switches are not strictly necessary, 
only extremely cool ;-) I would recommend you to edit the scgi.setup file 
in the scgi.egg.dir directory created by chicken-setup and to apply the 
following diff

--- old/scgi.setup      2006-05-06 01:31:16.000000000 +0200
+++ new/scgi.setup      2006-06-02 18:19:08.281250000 +0200

-  -o ,so-file -emit-exports "scgi.exports")

+  -o ,so-file)
  (install-extension

disabling the compile time checking for unbound variables. Then try to run 
chicken-setup on the egg again.

If you still have trouble with the installation, feel free to ask again. 
If everything else failed, I could even send you MacOS X binaries for that 
egg ;-)

cu,
Thomas
