Suite au message de A E Lawrence: Date: Mon, 04 Aug 1997 16:39:43 +0100 From: A E Lawrence <adrian.lawrence@computing-services.oxford.ac.uk Organization: Oxford University To: alliance-support@asim.lip6.fr Subject: linux_elf system built and available I tried to explore alliance a while ago on linux, but hit problems. Last week I discovered your mailing lists and noted that more than 50% of the archived messages were about this problem. So over the weekend I managed to compile the system under a current linux (kernel 2.0.31, Redhat 4.2). More to the point, it is linux with shared libraries and ELF. Exactly what all those people seem to want. As I am completely new to alliance, I have tested almost nothing except the first tutorial. The alliance tools all appeared to work, including genlib calling gcc. So I have built a tar file which contains the patched sources and binaries. It is currently at: ftp://ftp.ox.ac.uk/pub/users/adrian/alliance_3.0_linux_elf.tar.gz I suggest that you take a copy and place it on your site. Then all those linux people will be happy, and you can stop answering all those messages. I hope that you are happy with what I have done. Thank you very much for that job. I've made it available under ftp://asim.lip6.fr/pub/alliance/ Looking forward to the new version, and thanks for making alliance generally available. Watch the web (asim.lip6.fr/alliance/), I'm trying to keep it up-to-date with our internal discussions. Only the section on mailing-lists is good actually, but, I'll try to improve it. (I'm an overwhelmed systems manager).
