[Gcl-devel] GCL 2.6.6 does not build Axiom on Windows

Camm,

You will recall that some of the fixes included in GCL 2.6.6
were motivated by patches that Mike Thomas made to 2.6.5 in
order to build Axiom on windows. I think that one of your
goals of releasing 2.6.6 was so that the GCL source used to
build Axiom on both linux and windows would be the same.
Unfortunately it seems that we have not quite reached that
state yet.

Being optimistic, I added GCL 2.6.6 to the Axiom build in
the usual way (added zips/gcl-2.6.6.tgz, new GCL 2.6.6 stanza
in lsp/Makefile.pamphlet, and change GCLVERSION in Makefile).
The build proceeds normally all the way to the beginning of
the algebra compiles but fails on the first spad file with
the message:

   Caught fatal error [memory may be damaged]

The current Axiom build on Windows does succeed with the original
patches supplied by Mike Thomas when applied to GCL-2.6.5.

Given limited resources and the current set of priorities for
the next scheduled release of Axiom (February), Tim Daly has
indicated that it probably wont be until at least the March
release before we can try again to merge the linux and windows
builds. But in the mean time, if someone with more experience
than me with GCL on Windows has the time to take a closer look
at this, please let me know and I will try to help.

Regards,
Bill Page.
