[Axiom-developer] [#37 )co aldor file does not work] Final bits and pieces

[kratt6]

Dear Tim! 

I saw that you integrated Peters patches for Aldor support from within
Axiom. However, some issues remain:

* You forgot to integrate his patch for foam_l.lisp.pamphlet which Peter sent
  to axiom-developer. Hence, calling a function compiled with Aldor twice in
  Axiom fails.

* You did not rename the files in
  axiom--main--1--patch-30/lsp/ccl/src/axbase/compiler/lib/ 
  to have the pamphlet extension. Also, they say 

  \usepackage{../../../../../src/scripts/tex/axiom}

  but should say

  \usepackage{../../../../../../src/scripts/tex/axiom}

  (it would be even better to say just \usepackage{axiom} and let configure set
  the TEXINPUTS variable correspondingly, I guess.)

  among these files, runtime.lsp and axextend.lsp should be compiled and

* when axiom is installed, be copied into the directory

  ~/axiom/mnt/linux/compiler/lib

  Also, 

  ~/axiom/mnt/linux/compiler/bin

  should contain a link to the aldor compiler. The best thing is probably to
  include the file axiomxl as follows:

#!/bin/sh
#
# A script to ease the pain of migration.
echo "           ************************************************"
echo "           *** axiomxl is obsolete: use 'aldor' instead ***"
echo "           ************************************************"
echo ""
aldor $*

  Finally, the axiom.as file is missing from the distribution and should be
  copied to an appropriate place when Axiom gets installed. Don't know where
  this would be, however. It seems that aldor expects it in its include
  directory...
