[Gcl-devel] Re: Help on maxima cross-compile

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!  Good to hear of your plans.

To my understanding, you will pretty much have to use GCL to get
maxima running on mips at present.  Under Debian, gcl/maxima is fully
supported and passes all tests, at least on top of gcc.   I'd try
something like the following with your new compiler:

1) export CC=<your cc>
2) apt-get -q source gcl (put unstable in your apt sources.list)
3) cd gcl-2.5.0.cvs20020625
3.5) apt-get -q install libgmp3-dev
4) ./configure --enable-dynsysgmp --disable-statsysbfd --enable-dlopen
    (--enable-debug, if you want)
5) make
6) cd ..

-- for current "stable" maxima

7) apt-get -q source maxima
8) cd maxima-5.6b
9) edit configure, set GCLDIR to $(pwd)/../gcl-2.5.0.cvs20020625
11) ./configure
12) make
13) make test

-- for current "cvs" maxima

7) export CVS_RSH=ssh
8) export CVSROOT=:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/maxima
9) cvs -z9 -q co maxima
10) cd maxima
11) ./bootstrap
12) export PATH=$(pwd)/../gcl-2.5.0.cvs20020625/bin:$PATH
13) export C_INCLUDE_PATH=$(pwd)/../gcl-2.5.0.cvs20020625/h
14) ./configure --enable-gcl-alt-link
15) make
16) make check

Good luck, and please drop us a line to let us know how its going.

Take care,
