[Ecls-list] [Maxima] Building Maxima with Ecl 12.2.1 fails

[Robert Dodier]

Hmm, I get a different error trying to compile Maxima w/ ECL 12.2.1.
See below. I am working on Ubuntu. I downloaded the ECL tarball and
compiled it.

To the ECL list -- I tried to narrow down the error by compiling
only the SLATEC stuff, but ran into trouble w/ package declarations
and couldn't sort it out (too lazy).

Looking at xerprn.fas, I see the following string of expressions --

(simple-array character (*)) (f2cl-lib::integer4) (simple-array
f2cl-lib::integer4 (5)) (simple-array character (148)) (integer)
f2cl-lib::integer4 " " (t (("~A")) "~%") slatec::xerprn slatec::xgetua
f2cl-lib::i1mach f2cl-lib::len f2cl-lib::fstring-/=
f2cl-lib::lun->stream f2cl-lib::execute-format-main f2cl-lib::index
f2cl-lib::fstring-= "SLATEC" "$$" (simple-array character (2))
"CL-USER"

Maybe that's some kind of clue.

For the record, this succeeds in ECL 12.2.1:

(coerce "$$" '(simple-array character (2)))
 => "$$"

Thanks for any info,

Robert Dodier
