That is good news fro Axiom -- sorry for not following closer. | axiom4sage-0.1.spkg is built using the experimental build- | improvements Axiom source distribution because I wanted to test | it and to take advantage of the flexibility of the autoconf | tools to allow Axiom to be built on as wide a range of platforms | as possible. Indeed. If I understand correctly, Tim is worried abotu that patch in build-improvements. However, unless I'm completely off, you did not commit it to that branch right? Your experiment should be appraised. I'm sure you ran into issues; I would be glad to hear of them so that we can provide fixes. -- Gaby _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list Axiom-developer@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
