I've created an update of prereq from 0.3 to 0.4 which does the preliminary checks of the Sage build.
http://sagetrac.org/sage_trac/ticket/7021 The main benefits are: * gcc is checked that the version is at least 4.0.1 * If you try to mix versions of gcc and g++ (say gcc 4.0.2 and gcc 4.1.0), then you get an error. * A warning is issued on OS X to use the latest XCode * One can build with the Sun compiler if one wishes, as the configure script no longer exits, but just issues a warning about only gcc being supported. * If you try to mix GNU and non-GNU C or C++ compilers, then you get an error (Fortran is not covered properly. I will look at improving that later. It is not so easy as C and C++). The update consists of two files, which should be installed as: * $SAGE_HOME/spkg/base/prereq-0.4-install * $SAGE_HOME/spkg/base/prereq-0.4.tar The files are attached to the ticket --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
