I've been working on getting MPIR to compile on Sun CC with --enable- cxx. I've fixed the attribute errors by only defining ATTRIBUTE_* when __GNUC__ is defined. This fixes lots of build warnings actually, though if __GNUC__ is not defined for a compiler which supports attributes, then MPIR could

eno is also using svn version 1.4.6, so that probably isn't the issue. I'm not very svn savvy, so if their are some "post commit hooks" or things like that which should be running on the server, point me in the right direction and I'll try to set them up. I personally have noticed that svn doesn

The current svn repo appears to have some issues with setting file properties. We went through and changed a whole load of files so that the line endings would be automatically set to the native format when checked out. But I just checked out on fulvia and the line endings for the Makefile in yasm

Did you scroll down the page? There are/were quite a few blockers!! If you open any particular ticket, then in the upper left it tells you somewhere that it is a blocker, critical, major, minor, etc. Tickets are also all ordered by severity. The top ones are all blockers. Bill. 2009/1/10 Jason

Hey Bill, When I look at the trac server, everything is the same color. I don't know if that's a browser issue or what, but could things that are "blockers" just be labeled as such? Or, if that's too much effort, could you just indicate which labels mean something is a blocker? Thanks, jason

Hi Michael, svn apparently doesn't preserve file permissions. You can set execute:on so that the file is executable and both config.guess and install-sh have this set. But if you try to execute config.guess for example it doesn't work. There's apparently some kind of hack for svn that allows per
