[Axiom-developer] Not building on Kubuntu

[Martin Rubey]

Dear all,

the maths department just switched to kubuntu. Although axiom is included, I'd
like to have the possibility to compile it myself. Well, it doesn't work.


First Problem:
===================================================
You must set your AXIOM and PATH variables. Type:

To build the rest of the system type:

export AXIOM=/users/rubey/GoldenAxiom/mnt/linux
export PATH=$AXIOM/bin:$PATH
make AWK=/usr/bin/nawk

configure finished.
address@hidden:~/GoldenAxiom$ export AXIOM=/users/rubey/GoldenAxiom/mnt/linux
address@hidden:~/GoldenAxiom$ export PATH=$AXIOM/bin:$PATH
address@hidden:~/GoldenAxiom$ make AWK=/usr/bin/nawk

If I then go on - I changed totex by hand to use nawk instead of gawk, build
fails when building the algebra. It says it cannot find a rule to make

mypath/GoldenAxiom/int/algebra/ABELGRP.o

although the rule

${MID}/%.o: ${MID}/%.lsp 
           blablabla

clearly is present.

I'm quite desperate.
