Thanks George.

I tried strace on chicken-install, and it looks like it's loop crashing

The last 2 lines just repeat ad-infinitum.

I tried strace on a simple csi script which works fine without exceptions, so I think there's something wrong with the

compiled chicken-install application.

I was doing the compilation in a MINGW64 window, not a MSYS window, which is what I think you were referring to?

I can't compile it in a normal windows shell, as it would need MINGW64 paths setup for compiler etc.

I may try an earlier version of chicken and see if that works.

Hi all,

I'm on a new PC with windows 10 and thought I'd try getting a chicken
environment up and running on MSYS2 MingGW-64.

I've installed a fresh copy of msys2 and mingw64 from the msys2 site, doing
the pacman updates on top.

I've then followed the guide at http://wiki.call-cc.org/msys2 (except using
5.2.0 source instead) running under a MINGW64 terminal as advised.

The compilation works fine, but when I run the install phase, the
"chicken-install -update-db" just hangs:

    ....
    cp -r chicken.tcp.import.so "C:/msys64/usr/local//lib/chicken/11"
    cp -r chicken.compiler.user-pass.import.so
"C:/msys64/usr/local//lib/chicken/11"
    C:/msys64/usr/local//bin/chicken-install -update-db

I left it for an age, and checked if it was doing network activity, which
it doesn't seem to be.

opening another window, csi seems to work, but I can't install any eggs,
presumably because the chicken db is not being built.

    markj@teeny MINGW64 ~
    $ winpty csi -p '(+ 1 1)'
    2

    markj@teeny MINGW64 ~
    $ chicken-install -s srfi-18

    Error: extension or version not found: "srfi-18"

Any advice on getting chicken-install working, or how to work out why it's
hanging?

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark, I installed Chicken successfully on Windows not too long ago,
but unfortunately I've since switched my setup and I don't know what
your issue might be. However looking at the wiki instructions I do
remember that I didn't install Chicken 'in' msys, if that makes sense,
but from a 'normal' Windows command shell. Maybe there's some network
issue with msys -- could Windows be blocking it?

cheers, George
