Re: [Axiom-developer] Re: [Gcl-devel] native relocation on Mac OS X

[Aurelien Chanudet]

Hi Peter,

In short, GCL appears to be in a fairly stable state on Mac OS X. I've 
successfully built Maxima and ACL2. I've never tried to build Axiom, 
but I see no reasons why this would not work.

In order to build gcl on Mac OS X :

1) Make sure you have gettext installed from Fink :

-bash2.05b /src/src/gcl-2.7.0/o $ fink list | grep gettext
 i      gettext 0.10.40-17      Message localization support
 i      gettext-bin     0.10.40-17      Executables for gettext package
 i      gettext-dev     0.10.40-17      Developer files for gettext 
package
        kbabel  3.1.4-21        KDE - edit and manage gettext PO files

2) Apply the patches below : there's a small issue in CVS head with the 
latest binutils at the moment.

3) At your option, you can try out one of the following :

./configure
./configure --disable-locbfd --enable-custreloc

Please, tell me how this goes ! I'll try building Axiom for you and 
will report about my result.

Aurelien
