Re: RE: [Axiom-developer] axiom did not compile on sparc solaris

[Gianluca Gregori]

Thanks for reply.

I am still not able to compile. My answers are interleaved. Bear
in mind I am not an expert programmer, but I would like to use
axiom to do science.

I did that. But I also added --enable-emacsdir=no in the
lsp/Makefile (to the ./configure line) as, for some reasons, gcl
./configure would stop otherwise.

I am using solaris 9 on a sun sparc machine (a tadpole laptop).
I downloaded the Sept 05 tarball. These are the problems I
found:

The first error I encounters is on alloc.c:

What I did was to comment out the memalign function in alloc.c.
I also needed to add <sys/sockio.h> in run_process.c.

If I do this, the compilation goes on further but I get an error
at:

To avoid bfd linking, I then tried to switch to
--enable-custreloc in the gcl compilation. GCL than compiles
(tested out independently), but get another error at

In practise, not able to build it. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
