Re: [Axiom-developer] Problems building wh-sandbox

[Mike Hansen]

Hello,

I'm building in a directory wh-build which is different than
wh-sandbox.  I removed my copy of gcl and tried to have it build gcl
from source.  After fixing problems with bfd.h and bfdlink.h by adding
--disable-dynsysbfd --disable-statsysbfd to GCLOPTS, I get the
following error while building GCL:

cp init_pre_gcl.lsp.in init_pre_gcl.lsp.tmp
touch raw_pre_gcl_map
gcc -o raw_pre_gcl  \
              -L.  -Wl,-Map raw_pre_gcl_map   -lpre_gcl -lm  -lgmp
-lreadline -lncurses -lc -lgclp
cat init_pre_gcl.lsp.tmp | sed \
