Hello:
I'm trying to build maxima from CVS using:
"cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at maxima.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/maxima co
maxima"
#which seems to download maxima source properly.
I then did from the maxima source directory:
"bootstrap"
#which completed successfully
"export GCL_ANSI=y CFLAGS="-O2 -g -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 -fno-fast-math"
CXXFLAGS="-O2 -g -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 -fno-fast-math" && ./configure
--prefix=$HOME/MaximaTest --enable-gcl --with-gcl=/usr/bin/gcl"
#which failed with "config.status: error: cannot find input file:
`Makefile.in'"
I did this earlier this morning (because I didn't get the error message
then) with a copy of maxima's source I downloaded yesterday (or the day
before) and I was able to successfully build maxima, using:
"make"
"make check"
"make install"
I ran the newly installed version of xmaxima from the install directory,
but the help file identified itself as "maxima-5.21post" from within
xmaxima so I deleted the maxima source directory and started over by
again downloading the source from CVS in an attempt to make certain I
was getting the proper source and now I'm getting the error message
shown above.
Should I be using a different CVS command to obtain the source, or is
there a problem with maxima's source that needs attention?
Thanks in advance,
Paul Bowyer
