Re: [Chicken-hackers] Windows 10, MinGW-W64, Chicken 4.11, "invalid encoded numeric literal"

[Hugo Arregui]

Hi everyone,

I had a very similar problem using gtk and chicken, and it was a locale 
problem. Here you can find a very simple test case to reproduce the 
problem:

;;
(import chicken scheme foreign)

#>
#include <locale.h>

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
   setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, "es_AR.UTF-8");
   CHICKEN_run(C_toplevel);
   return 0;
}
<#

(return-to-host)
;;

I'm choosing es_AR as locale because that's my main locale, but this is 
probably related to the fact that here we use "," for decimal points (so 
it might work with any locale with such property).

HIH,
Regards,
Hugo
