[Chicken-users] Understanding Chicken 5 build scripts.

[Jörg F. Wittenberger]

Hi,

since I learned how CHICKEN 5's chicken-install creates platform specific
build scripts, I wonder: why?

This looks to me like asking for trouble. (Incompatible interpreters,
quotation issues etc.)

Intuitively I'd rather chosen build upon the PLT make macro and
scsh-process and avoid dependencies on external interpreters as much as I
could.

Hence there must be some advantage to it I fail to see.

Which one?

Best

Hello,

it seems to me this approach could come in handy when you want to
execute build steps on different hosts in complicated cross-compilation
scenarios. But I'm not sure how well this is supported.
