[Gcl-devel] troubles bulding Maxima with latest GCL CVS

[Vadim V. Zhytnikov]

Hi!

I've troubles in building Maxima with latest GCL CVS.

With Maxima 5.6 something wrong with Makefiles.
I have not identified the real source of the trouble but
if you look at makefile in Maxima /src dir you can see

LISP=saved_ansi_gcl

Which is wrong since full path to saved GCL image is required.
Previously there are no such line and make looked for
gcl in $(PORTDIR)/saved_....

With Maxima 5.9 trouble is entirely different. If I use
latest GCL CVS compiled with --disable-bfd then
everything is fine. But is bfd is enabled then
I've got the following error
---------------------------------------------------
;      - Loading binary file "binary-gcl/comm2.o"
