Re: [Axiom-developer] Comp failed

Yeah, there is something broken in 16.04 that breaks GCL.

It seems there is a GCC bug related to linker resolution

as near as I can tell. I did a little investigation but

grovelling in GDB and C libraries is not my most

effective use of time.

I'll try again sometime soon if no one else debugs it.

You were right, GCL from git://git.savannah.gnu.org/gcl.git does not build.

make
...

cd unixport && make saved_pre_gcl

I did exactly as you recommended on your website:

Ubuntu

apt-get install m4 libxpm-dev libxt-dev libx11-dev 
apt-get install libxext-dev gettext git-core texlive gawk texlive-fonts-extra
git clone git://github.com/daly/axiom.git
cd axiom
export AXIOM=`pwd`/mnt/ubuntu
export PATH=$AXIOM/bin:$PATH
make

I've tried on two different machines, both running the same OS though.

What operating system are you running? I will try to

build a machine that matches your configuration.

The failure is in gcl. Can you build gcl from Savannah?

What version of GCC are you running? There seems to

be a bug in GCC 6. Try

   gcc --version

Are you sure you installed the packages listed on
