[Axiom-developer] Re: GCL 2.6.6 does not buildAxiom on Windows

[Mike Thomas]

Hi Bill/Camm.

Good news I think.

| Thanks, Mike!  Bill, might you have a few moments to try to spot the
| relevant patch?  I'd like to get stock GCL completely axiom/windows
| ready.

After:

  tla register-archive address@hidden
http://axiom-developer.org/archive/axiom

  tla my-default-archive address@hidden

  tla get axiom--windows--1

I end up with a directory called "axiom--windows--1--patch-13" in which I
successfully built Axiom on Windows:

  1. in the usual way using gcl 2.6.5 as supplied in that new source tree
(unmodified) and also

  2. using 2.6.6 after modifications to "lsp/Makefile.pamphlet" for minimum
usual patching to the GCL 2.6.6 source in new version gcl2.2.2w.

The modifications I made apart from adding "gcl-2.6.6.tgz" and new patch
files in "zips" are to be found at the end of this email.  I believe I am
using gcc 3.4.2, binutils 2.15.91, mingw32 runtime 3.5, win32 libraries 3.1.

Interestingly I get different output (less verbose) at the point where
AHYP.spad is compiled to that you mentioned in your earlier email, Bill, and
to which I was previously accustomed:

=======================================================================

I'll send the compressed make log and new patch files separately to you Bill
and Camm for comparison purposes.

Gratuitous Complaint Time (apologies in advance) -  I have yet to either
successfully use the sftp repository or download a tree over a modem.  Arch
has also left me with vast directory trees I could not delete except by
shortening the directory names down the tree first and has done bizarre
permission mangling on files so they were editable with wordpad but not with
emacs!  Arch on Windows is an appalling program to use - I feel strongly
disinclined whenever I think about working on Axiom.

Cheers

Mike Thomas.
