[Gcl-devel] Re: [Maxima] Problems building latest gcl from cvs

[Vadim V. Zhytnikov]

At present I just may confirm that gcl CVS is indeed broken.
I'll try to figure out what is going wrong and which resent patch broke the
system.

And one little note. GCL isn't supposed to be compiled with gcc 2.96,
use gcc 2.95 instead. GCL may be compiled with 2.96 but not all things
works properly. On the other hand it has nothing to do current compilatin
troubles since now GCL dosn't buld with 2.95.3 as well.
