[Axiom-developer] Building axiom on FreeBSD

[P.U.Kruppa]

Hello!

I am trying to build axiom-Sept2005-src on FreeBSD 6 -STABLE .
This is how far I have come:
1) I have installed
   - gnu-awk (gawk)
   - gnu-make (gmake, this is different from FreeBSD's make)
   - gnu common lisp (gcl-2.6.7)
   - teTeX-3.0
   - bash (FreeBSD's default shell is tcsh; perhaps sh would
           suffice?)
   - tangle (??? - translate WEB to Pascal ???, I have no idea
             where this came from - teTeX ???)
2) I have hacked configure, since
        # uname -s
   returns "FreeBSD", not "freebsd".
3)      # bash
   to do build inside bash
        # ./configure
   no errors, nor specific settings required
        # gmake GCLVERSION="gcl-system"
4) Now some happy building is done, but it fails with this

Any ideas what went wrong?

Mind: I am no programmer - so please type slowly :-)

Thanks for your patience and regards,
