[Axiom-developer] Building Axiom 11/15/2004 on Solaris 9 Sparc

[Kostas Oikonomou]

Hello,

I am trying to compile the Axiom sources dated 11/15/2004 on a Sun Solaris 9 
system.
The build ends with lisp dumping core:

I would appreciate any advice on how to deal with the problem.

Here is a detailed file showing what I had to do to build Axiom.  Note that I 
had to
tweak GCL a bit, as mentioned at the end of the file.

Thanks very much for your help.

Sources of November 15, 2004
============================

Preliminaries:

export AXIOM=/home/build/axiom/mnt/solaris
export PATH=$AXIOM/bin:$PATH

Edit Makefile:
     tar -> gtar

make noweb

Edit the shell script "mnt/solaris/bin/document" to set

weave="$AXIOM/bin/lib/noweave -delay -x"


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

1. Edit Makefile.pamphlet to add [11pt] and

\usepackage[hypertex,colorlinks=true,linkcolor=blue,filecolor=webgreen,extension=dvi]{hyperref}

to get hyperlinks.

2. Study Makefile.dvi, edit Makefile.pamphlet:

(a) Check the GCL version of GCL:

GCLVERSION=gcl-2.6.5

Then rm lsp/Makefile

NOTE: Axiom contains its own distribution of GCL!

(b)
<<environment>>=
SPD=$(shell pwd)
SYS=$(notdir $(AXIOM))
SPAD=${SPD}/mnt/${SYS}
LSP=${SPD}/lsp
<<GCLVERSION>>
AWK=gawk
GCLDIR=${LSP}/${GCLVERSION}
SRC=${SPD}/src
INT=${SPD}/int
OBJ=${SPD}/obj
MNT=${SPD}/mnt
ZIPS=${SPD}/zips
TMP=${OBJ}/tmp
SPADBIN=${MNT}/${SYS}/bin
INC=${SPD}/src/include
CCLBASE=${OBJ}/${SYS}/ccl/ccllisp
INSTALL=/opt/axiom
COMMAND=/opt/axiom/bin/axiom
TANGLE=${SPADBIN}/lib/notangle

(c) Add a <<Makefile.solaris>> chunk in section 2.  Should have really been
    "solaris9g".

(d) Edit lsp/Makefile.pamphlet and globaly change @tar to @$(TAR).


2. Building the GCL within Axiom (or outside of it, for that matter) is a mess!

 - I had to edit the patch
        zips/gcl-2.6.5.cmpnew.gcl_cmpflet.lsp.patch
   supplied by Axiom so that it would match, and to put "patch -l" in the
   Makefile, so that this patch would ignore blanks.
 - Do alias awk=gawk in the shell.
 - Do export CFLAGS=-I/opt/csw/include in the shell, otherwise BFD won't
   compile.  Why doesn't GCL use its own binutils subdirectory?
