Comment(by nbruin):
This may be of some help. I tried building with ECL 10.4.1. As announced
in
http://groups.google.com/group/sage-
devel/browse_thread/thread/e094589b2d99be8a/ab26bd29b3a8990a
we need a patch (attached there) to Maxima 5.20.1 to let it build.
The following instruction *should* do the trick
{{{
(require 'asdf)
(load "maxima-build.lisp")
(asdf:make-build :maxima :type :fasl :move-here ".")
}}}
but for me they lead to an error
{{{
Cannot rename the file #P"/home/nbruin/.cache/common-
lisp/ecl-10.4.1-linux-x86-64/usr/local/sage/4.3.4/spkg/build/maxima-5.20.1/src/src/maxima.fasb"
to #P"/usr/local/sage/4.3.4/spkg/build/maxima-5.20.1/src/src/maxima.fasb".
Explanation: Invalid cross-device link.
}}}
This error message indicates:
* that ECL is trying to do exactly the right thing
* that it's trying to do the move with a hard link, which it shouldn't
try. That's a straightforward error, which will probably be fixed in ECL
10.4.2.
So my guess is that this issue should be fixable quite soon by upgrading.
Oh, and the line
{{{
cp maxima.fasb $ECLLIB/maxima.fas
}}}
should be changed to
{{{
cp maxima.fasb $ECLLIB || echo "Failed to build maxima.fasb"; exit 1
}}}
so that errors like this get caught next time and because ECL 10.4
supposedly natively recognizes .fasb files.
