Hi, I've just downloaded the current release of gcl (2.6.7) as I want to install Maxima on my system for evaluation. I ran ./configure with --enable-ansi --prefix=/usr and this ran through OK, so I typed 'make' Various bits compiled OK then it fell over complaining that it couldn't find bfd.h and bfdlink.h.
After a certain amount of rooting around I discovered that these are part of binutils (libbinutils2.devel on my Mandriva distro). However, the matching version of libbinutils2-devel (2.15) is no longer available (as far as I can seen) so I downloaded 2.16 along with libbinutils (2.16) and installed these. That seems to be OK but when I go back and try make again I get: ---------------------------- make[1]: Entering directory `/home/bill/gcl-2.6.7/o' gcc -c -Wall -DVOL=volatile -fsigned-char -pipe -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -I/home/bill/gcl-2.6.7/o -I../h -I../gcl-tk fat_string.c fat_string.c:229: error: syntax error before "bfd_combined_table_update" fat_string.c:229: warning: return type defaults to `int' fat_string.c: In function `bfd_combined_table_update': fat_string.c:232: error: `false' undeclared (first use in this function) fat_string.c:232: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once fat_string.c:232: error: for each function it appears in.) fat_string.c:235: error: `true' undeclared (first use in this function) ----------------------------- Two queries: a) shouldn't the configure script pick up the lack of the neccesary header files, and b) what do I do next to get gcl to compile?
