Greetings!
Just wondering if there were any ideas or progress on this front.
Take care,

Greetings!
With current cvs 2.6.8pre, I just took your patch, and changed the
GCLVERSION to gcl-system in both Makefile and Makefile.pamphlet. Then
I pointed the PATH to ~/gcl-2.6.8pre/bin:$PATH, set the AXIOM env
variable as you instructed, and make AWK=awk.
I get down to the following:

not to worry,
i've started in on volume 2, the programmers guide which will
require a complete rewrite. i've outlined it and am writing a
programming example that will be carried throughout the book
(a cohen algebra which i mentioned in a previous posting)
Hmmm, I don't know whether it is worth spending many
most of the steps would be:
(1) PUSH THE CHANGE
check out a fresh system
build a pre-change copy of the system (call it old)
build a second copy of the system (call it new)
in new:
add the awk script to etc/scripts
update CHANGELOG
update the etc/scripts/Makefile.pamphl
i took your suggestion and rewrote plttest.c to add the line:
long findstring(char *a, char *b);
but it had no effect.
when you built axiom did you modify the makefiles to use
GCLVERSION=gcl-2.6.8pre
or did you build the lisp by hand and copy it over?
or did you use your debian mod and compil

different error message. there is progress. now it is loading the

OK, think I got it now, will know for sure in a bit. Might want to
try a fresh update of 2.6.8pre at this point.
Please keep me posted.

if you're interested in volume 4 go for it. send email and i'll
help you with the details and the writing. the book--main--1
branch is probably better than the axiom--main--1 branch because
we can update more frequently and the changes can be broken for
a long time. we can also mirror them in src/

re: advocacy
ok. you're advocating a change.
No, I am just complaining that you did something wrong 3 years
ago. It was Ralf who was advocating a change. I just agreed
with him. ;)
Hmm, was I advocating? Well, my point of view is to minimise the effort
of developing/maintaining axiom. As
still fails at the same spot in the same way.

Please keep me posted. I'll explain what is going on if you are
interested

First let me say I'm totally fine with shipping gcl sources with axiom
as is. The below is just an attempt to explore the other possibility
in more detail.

Camm,
further investingation shows that _feof is defined in
/usr/lib/libc.dylib(feof.So)
simplly definiing a file foo.lisp containing
(defun foo (x y) (+ x y))
and then doing:
(compile-file "foo.lisp")
(load "foo.lisp")
(foo 2 3)
works so the breakage is more subtle.

oh, and as an aside, even if you build axiom on a "native gcl"
you don't need the native gcl afterward. you can erase it and
axiom still works (since axiom IS a gcl image).
so why force the user to install software that isn't used?

(7) and readline isn't installed in gcl
axiom has its own readline (clef) which can do "algebra command completion"
and knows about axiom. clef is automatically started when axiom starts.
readline interferes with clef.
so if "native gcl" has readline we can't use it either.

you ARE aware that gcl includes things like bfd, binutils, gmp, etc.
axiom isn't the only package that includes upstream sources. the only
way i know to ensure that your product works as advertised is to make
sure that it works when you build it. and that requires certain
versions. in a perfect wo
Hi,
Yes, we should simply "tell people that axiom needs at least
version x.y of noweb" and version 2.6.x of gcl. These are
prerequisites. Download and install them first - then install
Axiom. If you are using apt-get on Debian or yum on Fedora,
etc. then these prerequisites are automatically ins

Unfortunately, McCLIM currently requires clx to work (there is no

sbcl just got itself working on windows.
i'm trying to build it to see if they got mcclim working.
if so, we have a cross-platform gui.
an alternative i'm also investigating is gtk+ and libglade
it seems that gaim uses it and works everywhere.
if they can, we can.
