solaris compile

[HPW]

We have succesfull compiled newlisp 7.3.4 on our host running solaris.

Now it can be used on both sides. Great!

Good! On some Solaris Systems, you have to use 'gmake' instead of 'make'. I wonder if you had any diffculties/warnings or if it zipped right through it.



I developed on two Sparc R220 with SunOS 5.9 on the compiler farm of cf.sourceforge.net , one would have warnings and not link using 'make'. The other one looked identical but didn't have 'make', then using 'gmake' everything went smooth without warnings.

BTW, I left a debugging message in the floating point routines in 7.3.4 in the nl-math.c module line 1411, you might want to take that out before compiling.

1411 is the empty last line in the 7.3.4 source distribution.





When we compiled we get some warnings about CR.

After converting to UNIX-file format no more warnings appear.

Oops, I meant a printf statement around line 234.



But now it doesn't matter as 7.3.7 is out (with unlimited size in Tcl proc: NewlispEvaluateBuffer, locale switching and consistent FP exception handling -- thanks Nigel).

>unlimited size in Tcl proc:



Really graet! Offers now the same speed as loading from disk-file!

Thanks again!

We have succesfull compiled newlisp 8.0 final on our host running solaris.

As always! Great!

I am glad it compiles on Solaris, I couldn't check it out myself this time on Sourceforge.
