[Bug-apl] Fwd: Re: Parsing error?

[Juergen Sauermann]

Hi David, as far as I remember, I have removed the use of readline in GNU APL some time ago. There is also a very good document written by Peter Teeson in the doc directory that explains building GNU APL on MACs. /// Jürgen On 05/12/2016 10:54 PM, David Tran wrote: Thanks Christian to show new version ( and also show me how to build ). I was able to get source code from SVN trunk and manually build ( or use brew install --build-from-source ) successfully, but missing readline library. Yes, I am using Mac and brew ( that's why my GNU APL is old; version 1.4 from brew install; and no brew formula yet for 1.5 ). I already installed readline ( brew install readline ) before. Tried set up LDFFLAGS and CPPFLAGS to point to directory of readline, but still no luck. And there seems no configuration option about setting readline directory ( only option to without readline ) I saw there is a ax_lib_readline.m4 seems to detect existence of readline library, but cannot figure out how to force the flag to true. Anyone is using Mac ( + brew ) and successful to build SVN trunk GNU APL with readline library? Can you enlighten?
