Absolutely! Here's a recipe: 1) svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/axiom/branches/build-improvements \ axiom.build-improvements 2) edit Makefile.pamphlet in three places GCLOPTS = --enable-ansi ... 3) modify any in-package commands that don't comply or anything else obvious 4) make clean 5) ./configure --without-gcl 6) make | tee build.log 7) find out why the build stopped and repeat steps 3 to 6, shake and bake until done. 8) svn diff > ansi.patches 9) send the result to Gaby :-) Regards, Bill Page. _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
