[Chicken-users] Problems with csc and csi under MinGW + MSYS

[Ivan Raikov]

Hi all,

   I have discovered two issues with Chicken under MinGW+MSYS running
under Windows XP:

 1) After building and installing Chicken development snapshot 3.0.8,
    the csi REPL seems to go into an infinite loop upon startup. csi
    can print its version, evaluate expressions on the command line,
    and run scripts, but it cannot run the REPL. This occurs in the
    MSYS shell. If I run csi under the Windows shell, it works
    normally as far as I can tell.

 2) The chicken compiler works, but the csc driver program doesn't:
 
    
    $ echo "(print \"Hello, world!\")" > hello.scm
    $ chicken hello.scm
    compiling `hello.scm' ...
    generating `hello.c'...

    $ csc hello.scm
    (some garbage characters ...)

Are any Windows people willing to look at those two issues?  The MinGW
gdb doesn't want to load the debugging symbols in csc.exe, so I have
no idea how to debug this stuff.
