GCL has certain build dependencies, a working C compiler and libc development header environment being among them. Conventionally, GCL also requires binutils-dev and libgmp3-dev at build time, but there are local snapshots of these libraries to make do in a pinch. The GMP local build will turn on automatically if no installed GMP is found. The binutils local build must still be invoked by hand thus: --disable-statsysbfd --enable-locbfd
Ah, this really helps a lot on solaris/sparc for gcl2.6.8pre. Configure finishes, and it builds just about everything. The only issue is that I don't have a working pdflatex, so the build never finishes making saved_gcl. If I comment out the parts about building dwdoc.pdf, everything finishes and saved_ansi_gcl is created.
Unfortunately, cvs gcl still doesn't configure correctly. First, configure near line 4942 has this:
if ! test -x `which ldd` ; then I think it really should be: if test ! -x `which ldd` ; thenConfigure still fails because it can't determine the C stack. Can I set heap_ceiling = 0 for solaris/sparc is it is for solaris-i386? If I do that, configure finishes. I'm doing the build right now. It will take quite a while before I know the outcome....
