SYMPOW is causing problems on Cygwin (#9166), Solaris x86 (#9703) and ArchLinux.
William accepts that SYMPOW should be replaced, but only after some new code is
in place. That would have to form the basis of a student project to implement
the Watkins-Delaunay's algorithm for computing modular degrees (#9758). That's
not going to happen any time soon.
Is there anyone who is actively working on sorting out the SYMPOW problem?
Looking at sage-windows, there does not seem to be much activity on the Cygwin
port. Is there anyone who is working on that now? Last I knew from William, none
of the developers (mainly him and Mike) seemed to have time.
If anyone interested in the Windows port, or in resolving SYMPOW problems in
general, perhaps we could pool our resources. I did have one idea how to debug
this.
1) Build with debugging information on a platform where SYMPOW does work.
2) Build with debugging information on a platform where SYMPOW does not work
3) Single step, one line at a time, and try to see where the two systems differ.
Converting to legal C would be a decent start too.
Anyone got time to work on SYMPOW?
Dave
