If you build Axiom.build-improvements prior to version 632, you notice that when compiling the algebra files, AXIOMsys will spit out noise saying "Unexpected HT command" on all files that are properly documented. That is because AXIOMsys cannot find the HyperDoc macro table -- the path to the macro table is wrong, and that is a long standing fallout from my initial build-improvement work; I meant to fix it but never get around to do it. Now, what is the relation with Windows? Well, currently Axiom (both Gold, Silver, and all branches I tested a few days ago) will build the hyperdoc component only if X11 is available. If that component is not built, then we will not set up the macro table path correctly. And we will see the noise mentioned above. As it turns out, only a fraction of the HyperDoc component really needs X11 (mainly the terrible graphic interface). Other parts (e.g. htadd) of HyperDoc will do just fine. So my patch to Axiom.build-improvemnt builds those parts that really do not need X11. And we set up the path to macro table correctly. My long term viewd would be to reogranize the Axiom structure in logical, indpendent units, but I've given up on having long term views for Axiom, so you should not waste much time on this. -- Gaby _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list Axiom-developer@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
