Re: [Gcl-devel] Re: open-axiom builds on mingw32

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!

My apologies -- one small change required in the open axiom
src/lisp/Makefile -- comment out the cp of rsym.exe, which is now
obsolete.  (Perhaps make it conditional on the file being present, to
interwork with earlier versions.)

fricas builds too, but with the above change, and a manual replacing
of all the /c/ paths in src/lisp/Makefile with c:/.  Tried alias
pwd="pwd -W", but this did not seem to do the trick.

I wish I could figure out a clean resolution to these path issues, as
they also arise with the hol88 I've tried to build.  But I'm taking
your advice and leaving the GCL path system alone in this.  Strangely,
acl2 and maxima don't seem to be affected.

Take care,
