In the past we had several reports about problems with building
Gcl. In particlular there were serious problems when building
on Fedora. Now I can report sucessful build on Fedora.
Key parts:
1) Use CVS gcl from gcl repository:
cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/gcl co -r Version_2_6_8pre -d
gcl-2.6.8pre gcl
This version contains fix for "randomized sbrk" used in most current
Linux distributions (in particular in Fedora).
2) I had to use the following arguments to configure:
./configure --disable-xgcl --disable-dynsysbfd --disable-statsysbfd
--enable-locbfd
The "--disable-xgcl" is probably inessential, but build using system
bfd (either static or dynamic) failed -- IIRC failure looked like one
reported by Martin on Ubuntu:
...
echo " (in-package \"USER\")(system:save-system \"saved_pre_gcl\")" >>foo
/mnt/a5/fricas/lisp/gcl-build/gcl-build1/unixport/raw_pre_gcl
/mnt/a5/fricas/lisp/gcl-build/gcl-build1/unixport/ -libdir
/mnt/a5/fricas/lisp/gcl-build/gcl-build1/ < foo
GCL (GNU Common Lisp) April 1994 262144 pages
Building symbol table for
/mnt/a5/fricas/lisp/gcl-build/gcl-build1/unixport/raw_pre_gcl ..
Unrecoverable error: Segmentation violation..
I would like to update installation instructions, however for this
it would be good to confirm if this procedure works for others.
