I downloaded 4.2.0 (chicken-4.2.0.tar.gz) and tried to build it on mingw-msys. (OS: Microsoft Windows XP SP 3).
I gave following shell command make PLATFORM=mingw-msys
It throws following errors -
... << text above this line is not copied here>> ... Creating library file: libchicken.dll.a extras.o:extras.c:(.text+0x6fdd): undefined reference to `_srandom' extras.o:extras.c:(.text+0x75e6): undefined reference to `_random'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [libchicken.dll] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/c/Dhanraj/downloads/chicken/chicken-4.2.0' make: *** [all] Error 2
Before throwing this error it created libchicken.a, libuchicken.a, .o files and libchicken.dll.a (256 KB).
