Right, bookvol5 doesn't seem to be useful anymore. It also applies to Makenotes.tex. Waldek, I'd be happy, if we had somewhere an informal description of how the FriCAS build process works. In particular, the first bootstrap steps. Or have you already written up something? I'd be happy if this lives inside the repository as a simple .txt file or (better) a .rst or .md file. That should not be a repetition of what the Makefile.in says, but rather describing the rough idea of what passes are run in order to end up with AXIOMsys. I think, half a page would be sufficient. Looking into build/x86_64-linux-gnu/bin, I also find lisp, bootsys, interpsys. A short text about their meaning would not be a bad thing. > 2) src/interp/fortcall.boot and src/algebra/fortpak.spad > contain code to call Fortran routines.
