So, if I understand you correctly, Sage *builds* but it doesn't actually
work properly? I actually meant "builds and runs as it should" with
SAGE64=yes in my original question.
I believe Sage builds and runs as it should on some older releases of OS X,
where the default was to build 32-bit binaries. So if you want to test it, find
out what versions of OS X have this property, and test on that.
SAGE64 was first introduced when Micheal decided to port Sage to OS X - despite
the fact he was paid to get it working on Solaris! So all early code had
something like
if [ `uname` = Darwin ] -a [ $SAGE64 = yes ] ; then
...
I went around removing the references to Darwin (OS X).
So unless someone comes up with something better, I think SAGE64 should
not be altered.
My main problem is testing SAGE64. If some new spkg breaks a SAGE64
build, nobody is going to notice. Most authors and reviewers (including
me) are unable to test whether SAGE64 really works.
I believe William is going to switch on t2.math. In which case, you can test the
building on that. However, Sage wont run properly until someone fixes the fact
Pynac is calling modules which are not initialised
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/11116
So unless the pynac issue is resolved, the best you can do on Solaris SPARC is
test Sage builds with SAGE64 set to yes. (R still presents a problem on 64-bit
Solaris x86).
But on OS X, this should be easy to test - assuming you can find the hardware
with a sufficiently old version of OS X
