Comment(by leif):
I had (''"in principle"''^TM^) already been ok with Dave's ECL package,
then he made further changes.
As said before, I consider the "spaces in `SAGE_ROOT`" issue a currently
rather minor one (as long as our `spkg-install` doesn't fail in an
unexpected manner), since I doubt upstream (at least some other packages)
will support that.
However, Dave claimed he had fixed that (with a change that effectively
changes nothing ;-) ).
While `echo $CPPFLAGS` will almost always work, running `gcc` with spaces
in the include path won't as is. So if at all, I'd change it to
{{{
#!sh
CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -I\"$SAGE_LOCAL/include\""
LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -L\"$SAGE_LOCAL/lib\""
}}}
which at least `gcc` does support, but not necessarily other parts of
`configure` etc.
----
There are some typos in `SPKG.txt` (IMHO minor as well):
* s/sa'''f'''ter/safer/ (plus spurious ":w" ?)
* s/user defined/user'''-'''defined/
* s/overwritten, as they would have done/over'''ridden''', as they would
have '''been'''/
* s/it will cause'''s'''/it will cause/
* s/Remove/Remove'''d'''/
But `SPKG.txt` is not the ''User'' or ''Developer's Guide''...
----
I cannot guarantee (nor test) the new parameters to `configure` work on
all platforms as expected: `--with-system-gmp=yes` is IMHO (at least)
superfluous if we also pass `--with-gmp-prefix="$SAGE_LOCAL"`.
----
I'd prefer all error messages (in `spkg-install`) starting with
''"Error"'' to ease grepping for such, consistent with other packages.
