Re: [Axiom-developer] Axiom cvs 040624 build error

[Magnus Larsson]

Hello Tim Daly,

Thank you for your feedback.

I have rebuilt from scratch. The AXIOM variable appears to be correct. I
use the output from ./configure to set the AXIOM variable.
I tried make clean from within the old tree. It did not build.
Please find my comments below.

The Makefile resides in:
/usr/source/axiom/cvs-040624/axiom

echo $AXIOM gives
/home/magnus/usr/source/axiom/cvs-040624/axiom/mnt/linux

This conforms to the rule adding /mnt/linux to the directory where Makefile
resides. This is what ./configure outputs as well.

I have tried to rebuild from scratch: cvs, ./configure, export AXIOM=,
make. It did not build. The console output is attached in make-scratch.log.

I have tried make clean. It did not build. The console output is attached
in make.log. I did not change the AXIOM variable since it seems to be
correct. The Makefile resides in: /usr/source/axiom/cvs-040624/axiom
echo $AXIOM gives
/home/magnus/usr/source/axiom/cvs-040624/axiom/mnt/linux

I have built Axiom from cvs sources several times before using my curent
Linux system. The 5-june-2004 version builds using the same cvs,
./configure, export AXIOM=, make procedure that fails here.
