Hum, reading your logs, I'm afraid that the collector is really not
operational on this combination of hardware/software. May be you
should try to execute the GC tests (untar the gc-7.1.tar.gz and run
"make test") to check if the GC pretends to be operational. Until it
does, it is hopeless to try to compile Bigloo. Sorry about that.

Re: bigloo3.1a

Hello Manuel,

Thanks for this new version.

Just 2 questions :

1/ On linux platforms (i686 and  x86_64), I need to have 'LDSONAME=' 
(empty) in Makefile.config
With bigloo 3.0a, it was possible to change the line of configure :
ldsoname=-soname
to
ldsoname=

With 3.1a, it is not working.
The only solution I found is to patch autoconfig/ldsoname to print the 
empty string.
Is there a better way to do it ?

2/ On SunOS 5.8, the gc/install-gc-7.1 generates an error because the 
standard tar does not have the -z option.
If we wrap tar to gtar, the output is :

** Configure **
Installing custom GC (gc-7.1.tar.gz) source code.
  Looks like a unified context diff.
File to patch:

And the script is waiting for a file name to patch.
Do you know what is the good answer to this question ?

RE: bigloo3.1a

Speaking of building bigloo3.1a, are there any special instructions for
building under Windows? Do I need Cygwin, Mingw, or can I do it using
straight VisualC++?

RE: bigloo3.1a

Ted, if you take a look at http://www.yaya.fr/Bigloo,
you'll find a VisualStudio solution package for bigloo
v2.8.  There's nothing for any later versions of
Bigloo, however.

I'm looking into generating some nmake-compatible
makefiles, but still have lots of work to get these
working.  I'm hoping these makefiles will be
relatively easy to generate when new versions of
bigloo come out.

Hello Ted,

Sorry for this late answer.

Yannis Bres used to package Bigloo for VisualC++. Normally you should be
able to use his package out of the box. In parallel, I always check that
the last stable Bigloo version compile and run fine on MinGW. I no longer
test Cygwin but this should also works.

I have just improved that. You can now set the ldsoname shell variable
of the configure script to "blank" to force it empty.

This is the same problem as tar. You must use the patch command that belongs
to the GNU suite. May be you have a gpatch or something similar.
