[Gcl-devel] Re: building Axiom with GCL Version_2_6_7pre fails

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!

My last commit to 2.6.7pre was on 5/7.  If it broke after that point,
perhaps it was one of these?:

   [  23: Mike Thomas         ] [Gcl-commits] gcl/gcl-tk makefile
       <  23: Mike Thomas         > 
   [  25: Mike Thomas         ] [Gcl-commits] gcl configure.in configure 
makedefc.in
       <  25: Mike Thomas         > 
   [  27: Mike Thomas         ] [Gcl-commits] gcl/gcl-tk makefile winkill.c 
tclwinkill.c
       <  27: Mike Thomas         > 
   [  25: Mike Thomas         ] [Gcl-commits] gcl/gcl-tk makefile tkl.lisp 
tkMain.c
       <  25: Mike Thomas         > 

In any case, you can give a -D command to get 2.6.7pre as of a certain
point.  It would help me if you can confirm that it worked just after
this point:
