Re: [Axiom-developer] wh-sandbox and aldor

[Martin Rubey]

Dear Franz, Peter, 

Franz: please always copy to the list, I think it is ok to send 10kb.  Your
problems may be very useful for others :-) Furthermore, there are people more
knowledgeable about building than me.  I hope you don't mind that I send the
logs to the list.

Peter: do you think you could update your Aldor support to work "out of the
box" with wh-sandbox.  At least here in Austria there seems to be a lot of
demand.  If I understand correctly, wh-sandbox (and probably
build-improvements) do not use the $AXIOM variable anymore, and the directory
structure has changed quite a bit.  Moreover, out of source build seems to be
recommended now.  I include my personal notes at the very end of this mail, but
it seems that they don't work for everybody.

great.

I believe the problem is described by the line in the log

  /bin/sh:
  
/home/lehner/usr/local/src/axiom/ax-build/src/aldor/x86_64-unknown-linux/bin/interpsys:
  Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

interpsys is an intermediate version of the axiom interpreter.  But the path

/home/lehner/usr/local/src/axiom/ax-build/src/aldor/x86_64-unknown-linux/bin/

looks rather broken -- it seems that -

  /src/aldor should rather be /build

all the time...  Hm, maybe you could just locate interpsys in your ax-build
tree, and set the path so that it will find it.  On my system it is

ax-build/build/i686-pc-linux/bin/interpsys

However, I am a little afraid that some variable is badly set.  What's the
value of $AXIOM when you tried to build?

Good luck,

Martin
