[Gcl-devel] RE: [Axiom-developer] Metadata for the uploaded Windows source/bi nary package.

[Page, Bill]

Mike,

I am still have trouble with the Windows build. I installed
the gmp library as you described below and that part of the
configuration now seems to work. But I still have many
undefined symbols. (See tail of log below.) These seem to
me to be internal GCL stuff so something weird must be
going on.

Yes, it did pick it up. See the tail of the log below.

No, I am using what you called gclcvs from your 200 Mb
upload (really only about 60 Mb was essential, the rest is
mostly unused zip files ... )

I am running that test now.
