http://wiki.sagemath.org/SupportedPlatforms is nice. There is stuff it says would happen in 2010 that didn't :( and some stuff I think did (OpenSolaris?). It would be nice for someone to update that.
This is tangential to the real reason for this post - namely, even with updates like #10243, the README.txt is not as helpful as it could be. For instance, the top instructions don't mention Fortran. (They also don't mention Solaris.) Even though both of these things are mentioned later on, at least one person has been confused - see http://ask.sagemath.org/question/322/building-sage-461-from-source-fails-because-of Just putting it out there. - kcrisman QUICK INSTRUCTIONS TO BUILD FROM SOURCE --------------------------------------- The following steps briefly outline the process of building Sage from source. See below for more detailed instructions. 1. Make sure you have the dependencies and 2.5 GB of free disk space. Linux (install these using your package manager): GCC, g++, make, m4, perl, ranlib, and tar. OS X: XCode. WARNING: If "gcc -v" outputs 4.0.0, you *must* upgrade XCode (free from Apple), since that version of GCC is very broken. Microsoft Windows: Not supported yet. NOTE: On some operating systems, it might be necessary to install gas/as, gld/ld, gnm/nm. On most platforms, these are automatically installed when you install the programs listed above. Only OS X >= 10.4.x and certain Linux distributions are 100% supported. See below for a complete list. -- 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
