well, the build is proceeding and appears to be progressing ok. of course i have no idea WHY it works since there are no comments in the patch file. i'll test the graphics and hyperdoc in the morning.
so code appears in debian with changes that are not in the master source tree and is distributed under the name 'axiom' and you don't consider that a fork.... but patching the original source files of gcl and noweb to build axiom (but not a gcl or noweb distro) is considered a fork? methinks you're being a bit harsh. forking is not intended in either case and i'd never claim camm is trying to fork axiom. we've had close cooperation over many years he's remotely logged onto my main laptop to debug the original SELinux failure and we worked together to corner an issue of semantics that was killing the axiom compiler. i have the greatest respect for him and wouldn't consider forking gcl under any circumstances. the fact that debian changes are not integrated into the axiom source tree is likely due to miscommunication and lack of time or lack of understanding, not malicious intent. this needs to be fixed, though, as the debian version should be buildable from the master sources. i was under the impression that they were. sending (or resending) patch files that fix the differences is usually sufficient. if you'll push the noweb changes all the way thru the build process and send patch files i'll 'fix' that also. t _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list Axiom-developer@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
