It's a shame this has gone unreplied to for so long. (Unless I missed a
reply in another thread. I'm may be confused by the various threads, which
is why I'm only replying on sage-devel.)
Are other people really having problems building on Ubuntu 11.10? I've had
no problems building sage 4.8.2 on 64-bit Ubuntu 11.10. Also, I just tried
on 32-bit 11.10 in a virtual machine, and sage built without any problems.
(Running make ptest now.)
>From a fresh 32 bit Ubuntu 11.10 install, I had to 'apt-get install
gfortran m4 g++' to get the build started. Eventually it failed on building
python, I think, and after digging through the install log I found I also
needed to 'apt-get install dpkg-dev'. After that, everything went fine. The
only (possibly) special thing that I did was set SAGE_ATLAS_ARCH=fast.
(Also I set SAGE_PARALLEL_SPKG_BUILD='yes' and MAKE='make -j4'.)
Despite being 32-bit, the VM still sees a very modern processor, though, so
it is possible something could go wrong on old hardware. If someone advises
me on exactly what to do, I could try building a binary that should be
usable on old machines. Would it be enough to do
export SAGE_FAT_BINARY="yes"
export SAGE_BINARY_BUILD="yes"
export SAGE_ATLAS_ARCH="base"
before building? Also, if anyone knows a way to make the cpu in the virtual
machine look like an old cpu, I could try doing that.
