I can see the above file is called from sage-env, but I'm trying to work out exactly that the aim of it is. Do we really need the script at all?
It seems to do 3 things. 1) If SAGE64 is yes, it prints we are building 64-bit on Solaris or OS X. 2) Creates a file called SAGE_LOCAL/lib/sage-64.txt if SAGE64 was set to yes. Is that file used by anything else? 3) Checks if the file "$SAGE_LOCAL"/lib/sage-64.txt exists, and if so sets SAGE64 to "yes". I really can't see the point in creating this file SAGE_LOCAL"/lib/sage-64.txt The documented way to make a 64-bit build is to set SAGE64 to "yes", so its unlikely someone will want to force it to that by creating the file. Perhaps I'm overlooking the importance of this file. If it does no more than I think it does, then it might as well be ignored and the 'echo' statements put in sage-env. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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 -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
