[Aldor-l] Distributing Aldor

[Bill Page]

Pippijn,

Here is an update on my attempt to build Aldor on my Solaris 10.2 x86 system.

After noting the  help from configure that specifies 'bison -y' as the
preferred version of yacc, I decided to 'apt-get install bison' and
try the build again. This time it gets further!  The 'prepare' step
completes so one conclusion might be that 'bison' is a requirement.
But it fails again as you can see below during the 'compile' step with
a much more interesting message :-) concerning the instruction set of
the this machine.

 So again I am back to ask you for more (and different) advice.

Regards,
Bill Page.
