Changes http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/SilverBinaries/diff -- Warning: Experimental!
These builds of Axiom were prepared using the AxiomSilver build-improvements branch. They have only been lightly tested (if at all). If you can download and test these builds, your feedback will help greatly to improve the new build environment. **Download:** "Sun Solaris 10 Sparc (280R)":/public/axiom-20060912-sol10-sparc.tgz I have successfully built the Axiom Silver build.improvements branch on a Sun 280R (sparc, 64bit) Solaris 10 06/06 system with an up to date GNU toolchain installed:: bash-2.05$ gcc --version gcc (GCC) 4.1.1 etc. You should be able to satisfy all uncommon dependencies by installing packages from "sunfreeware.com":http://www.sunfreeware.com/programlistsparc10.html I built and installed GCL separately from the Axiom build. I really like this option. :-) I think it makes the whole build easier:: bash-2.05$ svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/axiom/ \ branches/build-improvements axiom.build-improvements bash-2.05$ svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/axiom/ \ branches/build-improvements axiom.build-improvements bash-2.05$ tar xzvf axiom.build-improvements/zips/gcl-2.6.8pre.tgz But it wasn't quite so easy... A patch was necessary to build GCL. (See "axiom-developer email":http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/axiom-developer/2006-09/msg00297.html ):: bash-2.05$ cd gcl-2.6.8pre bash-2.05$ ./configure --disable-emacsdir --disable-tkconfig \ --disable-tclconfig --disable-xgcl bash-2.05$ nohup make& bash-2.05$ tail -f nohup.out bash-2.05$ su bash-2.05# make install Some patches were also necessary to the Axiom sources. With the new build.improvements branch we can now do an out-of-source build for Axiom:: bash-2.05$ mkdir axiom.build bash-2.05$ cd axiom.build bash-2.05$ ../axiom.build-improvements/configure bash-2.05$ nohup make& bash-2.05$ tail -f nohup.out A patch was also necessary for the install phase:: bash-2.05$ su bash-2.05# make install 78 installing Axiom in /usr/local/axiom 79 Axiom installation finished.

The xgcl2 directory was not properly populated by 'make install'. Perhaps this was because of non-standard locations for the executables. I manually copied the context of xgcl2 from build to install and it seems ok now. The build method was very similar to the above, with no new patches required. **Download:** "Red Hat 9 x686":/public/axiom-20060911-RH9-intel.tgz Built on axiom-developer.org (the server that runs this wiki). Known Problems Please let us know what problems you find. You can report problems in IssueTracker. 1 You might experience problems running 'hyperdoc' due to a known problem with corruption of graphic image data caused by incorrect properties in the svn archive. This is being fixed. 2 Anything else? -- forwarded from http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
