[Axiom-developer] Re: first steps

[root]

well, THAT went poorly :-)

I guess I should have mentioned that you can change the environment
variables from their default values to your new values. The only 
one you should have to change is the SPAD variable. So, assuming
you tried to install axiom in /usr/local try:

  cd /usr/local/axiom
  make SPAD=/usr/local/axiom

You could either eliminate the extra level of new or include it in
the command line. It won't be there in the final system.

There is a certain catch-22 about using the document command on
the root Makefile. I'll have to give it a bit more thought.

noweb will generate non-fatal errors (the error 1 ignored message)
This is normal in my setup. I have to figure out why but the build
completes fine with the few errors that do occur.

The noweb is part of the 'all' stanza but it is only made the first
time. Once the noweb stanza successfully completes you'll find a
file 'noweb' in the top level directory. If this file exists the
Makefile will not attempt to build noweb. This is documented in 
the Makefile.pamphlet file. Erasing this file will cause noweb to
be rebuilt.

If you want you can build noweb yourself and do a 
  cd /usr/local/axiom
  touch noweb
and the Makefile will no longer attempt to build noweb. Of course
you'll have to do the copy of the final commands into the 
$SPAD/mnt/linux/bin directory.

The "console read hang" is due to a syntax error introduced into the
Makefile.pamphlet file in src/Makefile.pamphlet. In order to reduce
the amount of tex-related output the output is redirected to
$SPAD/obj/tmp/trace. Look at this file for the error. Methinks
you must have changed this file.

Each echoed line from a Makefile stanza has a locally unique number.
You can find problems by looking at the last "Entering directory"
message (which tells you which Makefile will be run) and then
searching the makefile for the unique number. This will tell you
the failing stanza. Search for 'echo' and you should see them.

Your system build failed because you don't have the Xlib libraries.
You need the following RPMS installed to build the system on RedHat 8.0
XFree86-devel-4.2.0-72.i386.rpm (for /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xlib.h)

Hope this helps.

========================= attached file =========================

Tim,

Here is the result of my first attempt to use your
Makefile.pamphlet. Perhaps I have included more details
below then you need, but I thought I would give you a
flavor of what I am seeing so far. Please let me know
if I should continue like this or be more brief.

------------

Note first of all that I eliminated the extra level of
/new/new so compared to what I got from cvs

  axiom/new/* --> axiom/*

Secondly on my system under Cygwin, it is normal to load
new source files in /usr/new, hence the files are in

  /usr/src/axiom

As the above console trace shows, the make stopped when it
could now find the /home/axiomgnu/new directory pointed to
by the variable SPAD.

I read the Makefile.dvi (after converting it to a .pdf file)
but did not see any mention of a hard coded directory
name. Anyway, I continued by changing the SPAD= statement
in the Makefile.pamphlet file. But when I tried to use the
command

  document Makefile

of course my system did not find the document script.
Instead I entered the commands

  notangle -t8 Makefile.pamphlet > Makefile.new
  mv Makefile Makefile.old
  mv Makefile.new Makefile

but then the build process aborted during the make of
noweb as shown below

-------------------

I wonder whether the make of noweb should be included in
the 'all' stanza. I removed it from Makefile.pamphlet and
then tried again but it stopped apparently waiting for
input from the console ... strange.

Pressing control-D several times (means end of file on

it eventually failed again

So that's it for now, maybe you can see some simple things
I might do to make make work a little better.
