[Axiom-developer] Failed to build latest axiom tree

[David MENTRE]

Hello,

I have tried to build the latest source tree of axiom (from
tenkan.org). I've update the source tree on "Sun Feb 16 21:13:37 CET
2003".

After a cd in the new/new/ directory, I have launched a :

address@hidden:~/pub/axiom-libre/axiom/new/new$ make SPAD=`pwd`/mnt/linux 
SPD=`pwd` 
 :
[ some output ]
 :
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/david/pub/axiom-libre/axiom/new/new/lsp'
2 building gcl-2.4.1
3 applying EXTRAS patch to h/386-linux.defs
/bin/sh: 
/home/david/pub/axiom-libre/axiom/new/new/zips/gcl.h.386-linux.defs.patch: No 
such file or directory
make[2]: *** [gcldir] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/david/pub/axiom-libre/axiom/new/new/lsp'

So the build fails for a missing patch. Apparently, this file is not in
the CVS repository :

address@hidden:~/pub/axiom-libre/axiom/new/new$ find . -name '*.patch'
./zips/gcl.init_gcl.lsp.patch
./zips/noweb.modules.c.patch
./zips/noweb.modules.nw.patch
./zips/noweb.src.Makefile.nw.patch
./zips/noweb.src.Makefile.patch
./obj/noweb/src/c/noweb.modules.c.patch

Other patch files missing in the repository are
zips/gcl.h.386-linux.h.patch and gcl.unixport.makefile.patch.

BTW, I think there is a small mistake in new/new/Makefile.pamphlet :

--- Makefile.pamphlet   Sun Feb 16 18:58:48 2003

 From the {\bf SPAD} variable we look at the last directory name
 and create a version of Axiom for that system. The {\bf SYS}


I hope it helps,
