We should aim to mechanize those steps instead of requiring user intervention. | The Axiom ./configure uses 'solaris9' even though my system | is actually Solaris 8. I don't think this a problem. I haven't looked to configure yet, but if we're going to use configure at all, then we should use the standard scripts that compute and use the canonical system triplet. I no longer have access to sparc or solaris boxes at home. At work I do have access to solaris boxes, but any development that require "unusual" toolsets setting is basically unlikely to happen :-( -- Gaby _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
