build errors in configure script (PR#697)
Kurt Hornik <Kurt.Hornik@ci.tuwien.ac.at> writes:
the lack of '-lm' in the Macintosh OS X / Dylan release seems to play a bit of havoc w/ the build. For example, the test for libf2c.a fails, not because the library is missing, but because -lm is missing. (the configure looks a little like it wants to check for it but it doesn't really need to)
i fixed it temporarily by majing a null libm.a, but i suspect this should really be changed in the configure script
Do I understand this correctly that there is no libm.a on the above platform? What is used instead? I think we could fix the problem, by first checking for libm.a (which we do lateron anyway), and then do the Fortran checking.
Maybe we should wait for MOSX to come out of beta before changing anything. I can imagine that more than one Unix program (to say the least -- -lm is probably the one thing that has *never* been broken before) would break because of this, so perhaps they want to fix it in the OS ...
