Good trick, although stylistically I prefer the PreLoad.cmake version Prefix to /usr/local if you pick "Unix Makefiles" from a CMakeSetup run from msys. I tested the above, and it sets the install It will hide the cmake variable CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIXĪnd make it always the same as CHICKEN_INSTALL_PREFIX. This is a common way of overriding a cmake variable. SET(CHICKEN_INSTALL_PREFIX $ CACHE INTERNAL "") SET(CHICKEN_INSTALL_PREFIX "/usr/local" CACHE PATH "Mingw default install path") I just looked at what was in the environment and figured, heh, this looks like it'll work.Īnther way to do this until the bug is fixed is just to add the following into the chicken cmakelist file: If it doesn't, I'm thinking it should, because MinGW and MSYS are like bread and butter, even if bread can be eaten without butter. I am wondering if CMake has its own, native, more reliable way of doing this. My understanding is that this command must be in PreLoad.cmake, that it cannot just be in CMakeLists.txt, as it must be set before anything else happens. Gleaning knowledge from the archives, I have created a PreLoad.cmake which successfully detects MSYS. This is a bug, for MINGW, it should not be "C:/Program Files". When people try out Chicken, I want to be able to ask "are you using the MinGW, the Cygwin, or the VC++ build?" and not have there be any confusion about what got installed where.

Hi, I'm going up the CMake Windows learning curve on behalf of Chicken Scheme. "The pioneer is the one with the arrows in his back."
