I am attempting to build gcl-2.4.3. configure completed without errors,
but I get the following make error:
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/lisp/gcl/gcl-2.4.3/o'
gcc -pipe -fwritable-strings -DVOL=volatile -I/usr/local/lisp/gcl/gcl-2.4.3/o

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/include/stdbool.h:41: previous

I also tried latest CVS, but got a different make error.
Is there a newsgroup or mailing list specifically for gcl?
Thanks.

There is no mention of mailing list at
http://www.gnu.org/software/gcl/gcl.html
or in the sources.

I have compiled the following:
gcl-2.4.3 (from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcl/gcl-2.4.3.tgz)
gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-98)
Linux loopzilla.org 2.4.9-34 #1 Sat Jun 1 06:23:33 EDT 2002 i586 unknown
and I get (an error in texinfo?)
(cd demos ; \
echo '(load "../tkl.o")

Are you carrying out "configure/make" inside /usr/local/ (which would
be incorrect)?
Gordo.
Greetings, and thanks for your report!

This is well known. The issue is fundamentally with gcc-2.96, which
is quite broken as is widely accepted. Both earlier and later
versions do not define bool here, so the gcl team made the decision
not to support a work around in the CVS tree. You can try yourself,
though, by placing an #undef _Bool before the relevant line in
object.h. Better yet, use either 2.95, 3.0 or 3.1 -- they are much
better compilers in all respects.

Just checked out CVS myself, and built without problems. What this
indicates is that the configure of the gmp subbuild failed. You can
likely determine why by examining the configure output. If you need
further help here, please post the full configure and make output, and
I'll take a look.
Take care,

To repeat what I just posted to gmane.lisp.gcl.devel, putting
#undef bool
in object.h (just before the typedef int bool;) completely solves the
problem. The build completed successfully.
Thanks.

·········@mail.gnu.org seems to be the development mailing list for
gcl. (That mailing list, along with most other Lisp-related mailing
lists, can also be found at the Gmane mail-to-news gateway over at
<URL: http://gmane.org/>.)

Thanks for the pointer. I had never heard of gmane before. I have posted
my problem at gmane.lisp.gcl.devel. Hopefully they can help me.
