Ray:
Whatever you did made it so I could download source from CVS and build
maxima against GCL-2.6.8pre which now identifies itself properly in the
help file from xmaxima as "Maxima 5.23post".
(%i1) build_info ();
Maxima version: 5.23.2
Maxima build date: 21:3 1/21/2011
Host type: i586-mandriva-linux-gnu
Lisp implementation type: GNU Common Lisp (GCL)
Lisp implementation version: GCL 2.6.8
My build process was:
"sh bootstrap"
"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"
"make"
"make check"
"make install"
Does this qualify as building maxima from HEAD as mentioned in the
thread "[Maxima] build-index, cl-ppcre and github" and if not, how do I
go about doing that?
Attempting to build maxima using the same process for maxima downloaded
via "git" (in a different source directory) according to the directions
given by Leo Butler fails with:
"Compiling $HOME/my-maxima-git-sandbox/Maxima-CAS/src/cl-ppcre/errors.lisp.
Invalid DEFINE-CONDITION option: (:DEFAULT-INITARGS :POS NIL :STRING
*SYNTAX-ERROR-STRING*)"
as mentioned similarly in the thread "[Maxima] build-index, cl-ppcre and
github".
Since I'm able to build the CVS version of maxima against GCL and I
cannot build the "git" version against GCL, does it seem reasonable to
assume the problem might not be GCL, or is my thinking fouled up?
Thanks for your help getting the CVS build functioning,
Paul
