Comment (by novoselt):
I am trying to build M2 1.4 from source - it would be way better to
upgrade spkg. My diary:
* I've installed autoconf on my system since it does not seem like Sage
includes it in any way.
* bison and flex are available as experimental packages (why not
optional?) and installed fine for me.
* I have MAKE="make -j2" and configure complains that make is not GNU,
changing it to just "make" works fine.
* Next it complains about libcurses and libncurses. I have libncurses
installed, but it is necessary to install development versions. I've done
that.
* Now development version of libxml2...
* config finished without errors, make does not work:
{{{
error: for the third-party library or program source "gc"
the source code is not present in the file
"/home/novoselt/tests/Macaulay2-1.4-r12617/BUILD/normal/../../BUILD/tarfiles/gc-7.2alpha5-2010-09-03.tar.gz"
so either download a "fat" tar file of the Macaulay2 source code
or rerun the Macaulay2 "configure" command with the added option
"--enable-download"
to enable automatic downloading of the source code over the
internet
}}}
