Re: [Axiom-developer] Compile errors on Axiom 2004-11-15

[Stephen Wilson]

Hello,

I recall a more recent posting from Camm:

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/axiom-developer/2004-11/msg00098.html

This posting gives a few patches to the gcl sources which should allow
it to compile with respect to a recent bfd. These patches involve the
precise files and bfd structures which caused Meino's build to choke.
Apparently the patches are available on gcl's errata page as well.

There is still the option of configuring gcl to build against its own
bfd library. In lsp/Makefile.pamphlet, about line 340, you will find
the following stanza starting as:

 ========================================================================
<<gclConfigureMake>>=
        @(cd ${GCLVERSION} ; \
        ./configure --enable-vssize=65536*2 --enable-statsysbfd 
--enable-maxpage=128*1024 ; \
 ========================================================================

Where you can change the options to configure. You could try
`--disable-statsysbfd --enable-locbfd' thus:

 ========================================================================
<<gclConfigureMake>>=
        @(cd ${GCLVERSION} ; \
        ./configure --enable-vssize=65536*2 --disable-statsysbfd 
--enable-locbfd \
        --enable-maxpage=128*1024 ; \
 ========================================================================

Cheers,
Steve
