RE: Axiom & internal/external GCL (was: Re: [Axiom-developer] Axiomcvs 040624 build error)

[Weiss, Juergen]

Hi,

I think, we should unbundle gcl and other additional software. To
get Axiom running and some gcl interactions resolved, it was
certainly ok to pack everything together in the beginning. But these
problems
should be solved now. Most package systems (debian, BSDs etc)
expect that the lisp system and other packages are 
separate. Besides it will make Axiom much easier to port to
other platforms. The technical details of loading C code
have already been adressed in Camm's mails. 

With best regards

Juergen Weiss
