Re: [Gcl-devel] Problems building gcl-2.6.1-18 on Solaris 8 (SPARC)

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!

Please excuse our makefiles -- they are a mess, but currently a lower
priority mess than other items.  Patches/submissions in the form of
Makefile.am's most welcome.

To make saved_pcl_gcl or any other image in the unixport directory,
you can do

cd unixport && make <image name, e.g. saved_pcl_gcl>

If the objects on which the image depends (i.e. the .o files in the
pcl directory) are not yet made, this will fail, alas.  So in other
words a 'make' in the pcl directory must precede the command above.

Would be very interested in a backtrace from your new build.  Am also
mystified why a gcc upgrade cured a bug in the call of exit()!

If you'd like, I have access to a solaris box and may be able to get
you an ansi build.

Take care,
