Bill, Greg --
I believe I solved the mystery: After the recent reorganization I
made, the variable SPAD did not have a have a value by the time Make
did substitution -- though it has a value set in the _shell_ command
line used to invoke depsys. Why that isn't an issue under linux is
not clear to me at this moment.
After re-reading Greg's message, I decided to trace build-interpsys
and that is how I spotted that the last argument was empty -- which is
not supposed to be.
Having two ways of saying the same thing (AXIOM and SPAD) is just
confusing and plain wrong. I changed src/interp/Makefile to use only
AXIOM (and not SPAD). interpsys was build successfully.
As I'm writing this message, algebra layer 1 is being built.
I also arranged the Makefile to use a relative path for $(AXIOM) during
the build -- that way, I sidestep all issues related to GCL unable to
find files with absolute pathnames not mentioning the harddrive. At
installation time, I'll set AXIOM to the value returned by "pwd -W",
which is what GCL should be happy with.
I'll report later once the build is complete.
(the windows machine is a very slow machine, so it will take a while).
Many thanks to both of you, and sorry for having wasted your time with
a such a silly issue. The good news is that we may be able to
build Axiom.build-improvements on windows soon :-)
