This patch adds -lXpm to the loader flags for gentoo systems. To use this on gentoo builds set your Axiom variable with a basename of gentoo thus: cd (whereever) export AXIOM=`pwd`/mnt/gentoo export
I don't know what is happening with the aldor.org server. Some days I can access it and other days not. Is this a good omen or a bad one? Is it further motivation to proceed with distributing Aldor a
Yes, I think that is clear. I wanted to understand how FOAM could be used in Axiom as implied by Gaby's email. As an abstraction layer this makes very good sense. I believe that Aldor also provides a
Dear Aldorados, (:- "Aldorado" = heterographic homophone of Eldorado i.e. "the Golden One" :-) During the recent Aldor workshop the subject of the relationship between Aldor and Axiom was discussed.
I believe the Aldor compiler can re-load FOAM files and work with them. `All' OpenAxiom needs to do is to generate FOAMs for linking with the Aldor object files. [...] As I said, it is not clear to m

At the moment, I don't know. But, the existing compiler can already generates Lisp FOAM for some codes. I suspect that was the work of Peter Broadbery -- anyone to concur? -- Gaby
Having Spad generate FOAM code seems like a rather radical (and interesting!) idea. How practical do you think it might be to make such deep changes to Spad? Regards, Bill Page.
This reminds me to mention that the issue of FOAM and other Aldor documentation was also raised at the recent Aldor Workshop. One thing that came to light was some additional and more recent document
In case it is not clear: FOAM is the compilation target for Aldor, and this is used to generate low-level Lisp. FOAM is designed to have only operations that are efficient both in Lisp and in a machi
Bill -- Thanks for the report! [...] There is a little snag. Axiom currently uses GCL, which by its licensing -- if I understand correctly -- makes the end product GPL, for the components BFD and UNE
My opinion of NAG's business decision is purely based on how much it has inconvenienced me. I'm sure they made the appropriate decision to achieve their goals. I have the highest regard for the peop
I never touched/saw Aldor compiler source code. I'm not trying to rewrite the existing compiler. I'm only interested in a new compiler for the *Aldor language*. If the *Aldor language* is defined to
Hello, Does anyone have any idea exactly what "v. 1.1-rc" refers? Note: The current version of the Aldor compiler is: v1.0.3. Where can we find v. 1.1-rc? maybe you just caught the aldor webpage in a
<legal issue responses moved to axiom-legal> Well, at least a mirror would be good - it's a bit hard to test Aldor+Axiom without downloading Aldor ;-). Ah, Windows hadn't occured to me. Ugh. Great! T
may I ask you again to consider the attached request. Thank you Ralf as you might know, I have built some scripts in FriCAS (a fork of Axiom) (http://fricas.sourceforge.net/) in order to build libaxi
[...] when you get a handful of motivated people, yes. Maybe we should open up a Wiki and call for people on the FrontPage similar to the FreeAldor link. That is an important factor I guess. I.e. wha
Heh. No worries - I have a very bad habit of voicing opinions on things I'm not really qualified to discuss, so I invite the occasional strong response ;-). Certainly true. However, based on your com
