Re: [Gcl-devel] Problems Building gcl-2.4.4 on FreeBSD 4.7/i386

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings, and thank you for your interest in GCL.

1) I believe GOTO Kentaro, whom I'm cc'ing, has a completed and
   working FreeBSD build.  Hopefully he will detail the status.  

2) We have a ftp site for CVS binary packages which are (mostly)
   updated automatically with Debian package release.  Would it be of
   use to setup a machine that would autobuild new GCL packages for
   FreeBSD, or does everyone compile for themselves?

3) Can you not use gmake on FreeBSD?  

4) I'd be happy to integrate your isnormal into the main distribution
   if GOTO hasn't already come up with a better solution.  I don't
   recall him needing this.

5) configure is supposed to detect the presence of libreadline4-dev,
   and optionally compile in readline support if found.  One can also
   explicitly enable or disable with command line flags.  See
   ./configure --help.  The readline detection may not be working
   properly, of course, or there may be some issue in the
   FreeBSD.{h,defs}.  Of course no porter should have to write
   anything related to readline.

6)  I'd try CVS, at
    :pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/gcl. 

7) If you still need help, please post the full configure and build
   output, so I can see the edited .defs in particular.

Take care,
