> Weirdly, just putting the (bigger) spkg in to a clean build of 4.1.2 did
as it was supposed to - right down to making the right .fas file, and it
works!!! Note that I did the spkg upgrade first, and only then added the
ecl library access from #6781, just in case that makes a difference - I
don't know why it would, but at any rate there were no weird complaints
about makefiles etc.
Ticket #6781 does not touch anything that can influence maxima's build.
I think the problem is in spkg-dist, which SPKG.txt instructs you to run
prior to packaging the spkg:
{{{
for X in ['es', 'es.utf8', 'pt', 'pt.utf8', 'pt_BR', 'pt_BR.utf8']:
cmd('rm -rf "src/doc/info/%s/"*'%X)
open('src/doc/info/%s/Makefile.in'%X,'w').write('all:\n\tls\n\n')
}}}
This must delete some files that were "automake" generated. The build
process of Maxima detects that, tries to run automake, bails on a wrong
version number, and the spkg install fails. This problem had nothing to do
with the patch, but everything with the instructions on how to build a new
spkg. Anyone with experience with the maxima spkg interested in weighing
in?
