I have had relatively little trouble with doing porting work and testing on sage.math, bsd.math, virtualized Linux guests on boxen.math, t2.math using GCC, and various Fedora, Red Hat and SUSE machines on SkyNet. The trouble comes in when I want to test or do porting work on a SPARC machine with Solaris and Sun's compiler. At the moment, t2.math is equipped with both GCC and Sun compiler. I can set GCC as the default compiler with these export lines by David Kirkby: export PATH=/usr/local/gcc-4.4.1-sun-linker/bin:/usr/local/bin2:/usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/gcc-4.4.1-sun-linker/lib:/usr/local/lib export SAGE_FORTRAN=/usr/local/gcc-4.4.1-sun-linker/bin/gfortran export SAGE_FORTRAN_LIB=/usr/local/gcc-4.4.1-sun-linker/lib/libgfortran.so If I also want to do testing or porting with the Sun compiler on t2.math, are there equivalent export commands I can use? Of course it would be nice to have a box with just the Sun compiler, linker and library paths all setup whenever one login, and another box with GNU equivalent. In the absense of that, switching between compilers, linkers and library paths on the same box can be confusing. > The last two packages that we added to Sage -- cliquer and ratpoints > -- both caused a lot of trouble. The building problem with cliquer is pretty much solved I think. As for ratpoint, the issue is that it should build OK with GCC 3.4.x. Is there a machine somewhere with GCC 3.4.x that I can use to have a shot at this problem? -- Regards Minh Van Nguyen --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
