I tried to build an up-to-date version of Gambit on Ubuntu 9.10 following the instructions here:
http://dynamo.iro.umontreal.ca/~gambit/wiki/index.php/Contributing_Patches_t...
This is the sequence of commands used:
$ cd ~/code/src/ $ wget -c http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~gambit/download/gambit/v4.3/source/gambc-v4_3_2... $ tar zxf gambc-v4_3_2-devel.tgz $ rm -rf gambit $ mv gambc-v4_3_2-devel gambit $ cd gambit $ ./configure --enable-single-host --enable-gcc-opts --prefix=/usr/local/lib/gambit $ make bootstrap $ make update
It fails at this point while trying to make all in ./lib
The command it fails on is
../gsc-comp -:~~bin=../bin,~~lib=../lib,~~include=../include -f -c -check _io.scm
The error message is that the usage of the gsc-comp command is incorrect.
Any suggestions welcome.
