Hi Camm, As long as it is possible to run GCL under wine (and EVAL works in that configuration), OpenAxiom should build fine under wine, and if it does not (as you reported) it must just be a matter of twicking Makefile/Autoconf expansion variables. I put that on the high priority list. Many thanks, -- Gaby _______________________________________________ Gcl-devel mailing list Gcl-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gcl-devel
