It appears that you believe that your average user should be able to do:
svn co open-axiom/trunk oaxiom
cd oaxiom
./configure
make
make install
So, in order to see what the DEFAULT behavior actually is, I did that.
Unfortunately it appears that OpenAxiom will not build on axiom-developer.org
I have to report the error message:
./configure
bash: ./configure: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied
when I attempted the build on axiom-developer.org running:
Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike)
which is a quad processor machine Intel box.
Linux axiom-developer.org 2.6.17.13-RH211rc35 #12
SMP Mon Oct 2 22:00:49 CDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I do not know what the problem is because
[EMAIL PROTECTED] oaxiom]$ sh
sh-2.05b$
works fine. The first line of configure says:
#! /bin/sh
Since Open-Axiom won't build I'm left with reading the sources.
Further investigation reveals (from Makefile.pamphlet):
install:
@echo Installing OpenAxiom in $(prefix)
@$(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)$(open_axiom_installdir)
cp -pr $(builddir)/$(target)/* $(DESTDIR)$(open_axiom_installdir)
rm -f $(bindir)/axiom
@$(mkinstalldirs) $(bindir)
$(INSTALL_PROGRAM) src/scripts/axiom $(bindir)
@echo OpenAxiom installation finished.
and the src/scripts/axiom.in file contains
showuse() {
echo "axiom"
echo " [-ht |-noht] whether to use HyperDoc"
Thus it appears to me that the DEFAULT behavior will install
Open-Axiom using the command /usr/local/axiom
Once I can build a new virtual machine I'll try to build OpenAxiom
and verify that this is the case.
