[Chicken-users] CHICKEN 5.0.0 release candidate 3 available

[Peter Bex]

Hello all,
The third release candidate for CHICKEN 5.0.0 is now available for
https://code.call-cc.org/dev-snapshots/2018/10/08/chicken-5.0.0rc3.tar.gz
237c88fcdd0d31f01923d9c5d0e4a564d22cdee98687a4e1daa2bc97d173e460

Correction, that's the sha256 of rc2 (copy paste mistake). The correct
value is 5df783518467d5166d64078baaf3ee17a23950e97e5e4957584fdd068a34dc46.

Hi all,

I just tested under the recently released Haiku R1/beta1:

Operating system: Haiku
Hardware platform: x86-64
C Compiler: GCC 7.3.0
Installation works?: yes
Tests work?: yes
Installation of eggs works?: yes

This time I did *not* run into the timestamp issue that would
cause things to be rebuilt if I didn't touch a file. Perhaps
Haiku has fixed this issue in their version of tar, or the
filesystem I am using has better timestamp resolution now, or
it's just luck.

Cheers,
Peter

Well spotted. We have a manual page, but it's missing from the tarball
and the Makefile doesn't have a rule to install it either. I've filed
https://bugs.call-cc.org/ticket/1547 to track this.

Cheers,

I've done some tests on Windows 7 (32 bit):

Operating system: Windows 7 with MinGW32 (no MSYS)
Hardware platform: x86
C Compiler: GCC 6.3.0
Installation works?: yes
Tests work?: yes
Installation of eggs works?: yes


Operating system: Windows 7 with MinGW32 (with MSYS)
Hardware platform: x86
C Compiler: GCC 6.3.0
Installation works?: yes
Tests work?: yes
Installation of eggs works?: yes


Operating system: Windows 7 with Cygwin
Hardware platform: x86
C Compiler: GCC 6.4.0
Installation works?: yes
Tests work?: yes
Installation of eggs works?: yes


I also tried with MSYS2, but I failed miserably. First it couldn't
find direct.h, then "make check" failed with static linking issues
on libc. I doubt this is a CHICKEN issue so I'm not filing a bug.
I'd appreciate if anyone with more MSYS2 knowledge chimed in.

Cheers,
Peter
