Downloads

For making the needed build system follow these steps:

wget https://www.kiatoa.com/fossils/buildall/tarball/buildall.tar.gz
tar xf buildall.tar.gz 
cd buildall/
./doall.sh example-ck5-ubuntu24.setup ospkgs-ubuntu24.04 chicken-5 eggs iup-bin iup-eggs

Once you have the build system just untar and run make:

% tar xfvz megatest-<version>.tar.gz
% cd megatest-version>
% make install PREFIX=/your/install/prefix

To run the Chicken Scheme compiler look for the PREFIX path in the configuration file you used:

export PREFIX="$HOME/software/chicken/ck4.$(date +%gww%V)"

You can then download and untar one of the releases below and run the compiler like this:

> $HOME/software/chicken/ck54.03ww32/ck

Please use either v1.6529 (tried and true) or v1.8104 (up and coming).
