[Chicken-hackers] Windows binary limited to C:\Program Files

[Brandon J. Van Every]

Unless some new mechanism was added for MSVC, the Windows binary is 
hardwired for C:\Program Files.  That's not so great, although it does 
sidestep the issue of "real" installation.  The .zip binary contains no 
documentation of this, nor any of the usual READMEs or 
INSTALL-CMake.txt, for that matter.  The method of installation should 
at least be documented.

Frankly I would prefer not distributing a Windows binary to this 
situation.  Making the user build Chicken is more work for the user, but 
they have to get a working C compiler set up anyways to use Chicken.    
Well, barring the interpreter, perhaps. 

On the other hand, creating a runtime configuration for a Chicken binary 
is not a project I'm going to undertake.  Too much work, doesn't address 
any of my own priorities.


Cheers,
