Re: [Axiom-developer] Problem building SIlver Axiom on Gentoo Linux

[Ralf Hemmecke]

Hi Gaby,

I have also come across that bug some time. It is just a missing 
backslash in front of the special character #.

I've included the patch at the end.

Why I did not send it was that I find "diff -Naur" rather inconvenient.
And I was not yet fully through with the compilation of Silver, but 
wanted to submit a whole changeset. Unfortunately, some other business 
stopped my work on the compilation.

I usually have just one working copy. If I come across a problem, I fix 
it and try to recompile. If it works, fine. But if I should submit a 
"diff -Naur" patch I need the old an the new file. The old file is gone, 
of course, so I need a checkout of a second (original) working copy to 
be able to "diff -Naur". I believe that that is completely unnecessary, 
because the SVN working copy as well as the tla working copy have the 
original files stored either in .svn or in the {arch} subdirectories.

I just don't know how I would use "diff" in a convenient way. Could 
somebody suggest something and put it onto the Wiki?

That would really make things simpler.

Thanks
Ralf
