If we can agree exactly on what compilers versions are acceptable, then I'll find out how to re-write configure.ac to do the checking. I want it to accept the Sun compiler, since it does not accept it now. It would be sensible to allow the Sun compiler, but issue a warning that only gcc has ever worked. When I tried to build with the Sun compiler on my laptop, I notice a few packages are ignoring CC and CXX and just using GNU tools anyway. It would be good if I could get a bit more feedback on my previous post. Then I know what to implement, what to put in trac tickets etc. Dave --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
