Changes (by was):
* summary: two trivial-to-fix issues with the macaulay2 spkg =>
macaulay2 optional spkg situation is totally
foo-bared
Old description:
> 1. The name of it in experimental is macaulay2-20061014.p1.spkg but it
> should be macaulay2-20081014.p1.spkg
>
> 2. If you do {{{export MAKE="make -j4"}}} then the build fails as
> follows:
> {{{
> checking for gmake... make -j20
> checking whether make -j20 is GNU make... ./configure: line 1497: make
> -j20: command not found
> configure: make -j20: GNU make is required
> }}}
>
> This could be fixed by not using $MAKE to do anything in parallel, which
> would be better than just having it break.
New description:
1. The only optional/experimental Macaulay2 spkg is
"macaulay2-20061014.p1.spkg" in experimental. Huh? That's ancient.
COMMENT: That 2006 one doesn't work if you do {{{export MAKE="make -j4"}}}
then the build fails as follows:
{{{
checking for gmake... make -j20
checking whether make -j20 is GNU make... ./configure: line 1497: make
-j20: command not found
configure: make -j20: GNU make is required
}}}
This could be fixed by not using $MAKE to do anything in parallel, which
would be better than just having it break...
3. There are some newer ones here:
http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/gfurnish/old/spkg/
But the newest: macaulay2-1.1-r7221.spkg fails to build immediately with
errors about gdbm.spkg missing, but there is no gdbm.spkg.
Comment:
And, for the record, the spkg doesn't build on the new sage.math (Ubuntu
8.04
