Re: [Gcl-devel] Problems Compiling GCL 2.5.3 on Solaris 9

Yep, I gave that a whirl on a completely clean slate.  Things were going
well, it compiled the local bfd library no problem, and continued
through the compile but it died again at the exact same spot, with the
same error as it had been previously.

I checked the 'makedefs' file and watched the compile to make sure that
when the linking was done for 'saved_gcl' that it was linking against
the local bfd library, and it seemed that this was the case.

I should point out that I did have to make one small modification to the
'makedefs' file. I added the location of 'libncurses.a' to LIBS, as it
didn't seem to be picking it up during compilation.  I had been using
the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable previously to get around
this.....So my LIBS line reads :-

LIBS= -lm  /tmp/gcl-2.5.3/binutils/bfd/libbfd.a
/tmp/gcl-2.5.3/binutils/libiberty/libiberty.a -lsocket -lnsl -lreadline
/usr/local/lib/libncurses.a

I have been using GCL's copy of gmp3, and did use that configure option
this time round......

Thanks for your help so far - I'm not fully sure what else I can attach
that would assist, but let me know what extra information would help.

Thanks,

Matthew White.
