I agree. | it you agree | I can check-in this change to build-improvements.

GCL does not support out-of-source build (yet). So, somewhere in lsp/, what you can do is test for $(srcdir) != $(builddir) and copy $(top_srcdir)/tools/$(GCLVERSION) over to the corresponding builddir. Since GCL is not part of Axiom, I would rather see it NOT in src/. I would prefer to see in a new directory tools/ sibling to src/. The same holds for noweb. Of course, we would need a documentation note saying nobody should ever try to modify the source codes there. | I am uncertain as to whether to include the .cvs files in the | gcl check-in. Doing so might permit a simple optional 'cvs update' | but would increase the size of the check-in. What do you think? The CVS administrative files shoult not be included. Just do something like mkdir tools && cd tools cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/sources/gcl -z9 export -Dtoday -d gcl-2.6.8pre -r Version_2_6_8pre gcl svk add gcl-2.6.8pre Tim -- Have you tried build-improvements on FC5? -- Gaby _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
