Yes, we need to update config/config.guess for Apple machines. > (And this tweak caused problems for SAGE, IIRC.) AFAIUI it was purely imaginary problem, they complained that FriCAS uses its own config.guess but did not mention any actual problem. > > convention is needed to install bianaries for different architectures > > in the same filesystem.

Well, this would be doing things manually instead of automatic support. > Also, how did you build and run different archs on one machine? Well, one case is 32-bit and 64-bit support on the same machine. Related is biendian machine or multiple ABI-s (single hardware architecture, but multiple architectures from software point of view). Classic case is running binaries on multiple machines having different architectures but sharing network filesystem. -- Waldek Hebisch -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "FriCAS - computer algebra system" group.
