Comment(by drkirkby):
Hi,
you have a point, but there was some logic to this.
The purpose of the ticket which William opened was to add
{{{
--without-xpm
}}}
to the line where the configure script it invoked. The ticket had nothing
to to with SAGE64.
I think whilst trying to build on Solaris in 64-bit mode, you should set
CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS to include -m64, as that will allow '''some'''
packages to build without making changes to their spkg-install files. This
is one such package.
I've written two scripts (#7505) which check what the compiler is (GCC,
Sun Studio, HP, IBM etc). That ticket already has positive review.
I've written an updated version of sage-env, #7818 which is awaiting
review. That will uses those two script, determine the right compiler
flag, then automatically export the right compiler flag to CFLAGS.
As such, I believe making only the change William suggested is sufficient
in this case. Just export CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS to include -m64, and expect
that in the next release or two, that will happen automatically for you.
Doing this, will reduce somewhat the number of spkg-install files that
need editing.
Dave
