Good Morning Don,
As part of setting up my gcl development environment, on Debian Linux
6.0.8 I've successfully deployed gcl.info.tgz so that (help ...) (help*
...) (info ...) work correctly.
However, on Windows cygwin, I have tried a number of things, including
using init.lsp to redefine si::*info-paths* and copying the contents to
/usr/share/info but I have not been able to get this to work.
Invocation of (help ...) (help* ...) (info...) reports the following
errors:
(not found "dir")(not found "gcl.info")
I have posted a log of this on my web site at:
http://www.noreastercybertech.org:5864/gcl/gcl-ansi-2.6.10-i386-winXP-gcl-info-issues-20140104095753.txt
Please review and advise as soon as you can.
Thanks for your continued consideration and support and for any
information you can provide.
Sergei

Good Afternoon Don,
I created a gcl-ansi-2.6.10-win32 distribution package (7982128 bytes)
which is available at:
http://www.noreastercybertech.org:5864/gcl/gcl-ansi-2.6.10-win32.tar.gz
It includes a gcl.sh bash script for launching within a cygwin session.
I've successfully deployed and tested it on another Windows XP Pro SP3
32-bit platform.
I was able to deploy it to a Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit platform
but gcl.exe immediately terminates with no errors and return code 1.
It's likely to be the 32-bit dlls in the distribution, so a successful
build on a 64-bit platform will be necessary, but if you have the time,
please check the distribution package and let me know if you find
anything.
Thanks for your consideration and support.
Sergei

Sergei,
I don't have access to a 64 bit Windows setup so this is
helpful. Thank you for the report!
It will be next week before I can get to building the
installers. In the meantime, can you check to see if the 32 bit build
you accomplished earlier will run on your 64 bit setup?
Best,

Hi Sergei!
Glad that the
directions work for you. While not a specific answer to your question
I will be working to set up double-clickable installation files for GCL
2.6.10 during the holiday season and hope to have those available on
the GCL website shortly after.
Good Morning Don,
I tried building GCL 2.6.10 on Windows 7 SP1 64-bit and it failed.
I have posted the log on my web site at:
http://www.noreastercybertech.org:5864/gcl/gcl-ansi-2.6.10-i686-win7-build-failed-20131231083048.txt
It looks like it started having problems when it couldn't find sources
("No such file or directory") after compiling gcl_sharp, eventually
failing with:
c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.8.1/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: ./libgcl.a(sys_gcl.o): bad reloc address 0xf in section `.text.unlikely'
c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.8.1/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: final link failed: Invalid operation
Please review and advise as soon as you can.
Thanks for your continued consideration and support and for any
information you can provide.

Hello Don,
Thanks very much for the note. I'll put together a 32-bit distribution
to see if it works on a 64-bit Windows 7 platform and will let you know.
Happy New Year!
Sergei
