Building gp2c

[Justin Walker <justin@mac.com>]

Hi, again,

I have just (11/16) checked out new copies of pari and gp2c.  I built 
and installed pari, and ran cvsinit in gp2c, after copying in the 
config file from /usr/local/lib/pari.  I get this:

mkdir: config: File exists
config already exists.
doc/Makefile.am:13: `#' comment at start of rule is unportable
You must have automake to proceed. Sorry.

I do have 'automake', and this error is due to the 'automake' error on 
the preceding line ('automake' returns 1 as a result).  No big deal, 
just FYI (the problem appears to be the commenting out of the latex 
line; if the comment character is at the beginning of the line, 
'automake' is happy).

When I test the results (the 'make' succeeds without apparent issue), I 
get this:

Testing script affect...
./scripts/dotest: line 1: -o: command not found
FAIL: scripts/dotest
===================
1 of 1 tests failed
===================

Somehow, the creation of 'dotest' from 'dotest.in' produced this line:
      command=`echo "/usr/bin/gcc -c -o %s.o -O3 -DGCC_INLINE -Wall 
-fomit-fram\
e-pointer -no-cpp-precomp -fno-common -I/usr/local/include %s.c && -o 
%s.dylib \
-shared -mimpure-text -O3 -DGCC_INLINE -Wall -fomit-frame-pointer 
-no-cpp-preco\
mp -fno-common %s.o " | sed -e s/%s/$i.gp/g`

A similar line is present in scripts/Makefile.

Any ideas?

Regards,

Justin
