(Version 1.1.6 doesn't seem to have such a target.) == Changelog == === linbox-1.3.2.p0 (Jean-Pierre Flori, 25 November 2012) === * Trac #13755: let LinBox build with MPIR >= 2.5.0. === linbox-1.3.2 (Martin Albrecht, Volker Braun, 15 August 2012) === * Trac: 12883: New upstream release * split off fflas/ffpack SPKG * The whole -fpermissive stuff isn't required any more === linbox-1.1.6.p11 (Jeroen Demeyer, 19 June 2012) === * #13118: Don't look at compiler versions, just use the -fpermissive flag whenever the compiler supports it. === linbox-1.1.6.p10 (Jeroen Demeyer, 25 May 2012) === * #12762 review: Remove the touching of linbox.pyx, since Cython knows the dependency of linbox.pyx on linbox-sage.h * Only add the -fpermissive workaround on GCC-4.7.x, not other compilers. === linbox-1.1.6.p9 (Leif Leonhardy, April 7th 2012) === * #12762: Temporarily add `-fpermissive` to `CXXFLAGS` if we're compiling with `g++` 4.7.x, since the LinBox sources currently don't conform to C++11, so GCC 4.7.x would otherwise reject them. * Exit if the build failed. * Use `CFLAG64` if it is set (and `SAGE64=yes`). * Clean up `spkg-install`, add some messages. * Add an `spkg-check` file, which currently runs `make check`. (There's also a `fullcheck` target.) * Change patch to disable the commentator, as default parameters were missing with `-DDISABLE_COMMENTATOR`, such that the test suite wouldn't build. Also, one must not unconditionally use `extern` for the global (dummy) commentator since this is C++, and doing so also breaks the test suite. * Fix (i.e. patch) the sources such that the test suite (`make check`) builds, also with GCC 4.7.0. * Add the "Special Update/Build Instructions" section. === linbox-1.1.6.p8 (William Stein, 18 March 2012) === * Trac #10281: Multimodular echelon form over cyclotomic fields fails === linbox-1.1.6.p7 (Jeroen Demeyer, 5 March 2012) === * Trac #12629: *always* disable the commentator. There are problems om some systems (e.g. OS X 10.4 with GCC 4.6.3) when parts of LinBox are compiled with the commentator and parts without. * Backport patch disable_commentator.patch from LinBox-1.2.2 to enable LinBox to be built with the commentator disabled. * Remove all -I and -L compiler flags from spkg-install, ./configure should detect these. * Use $MAKE instead of make. * Use patch for patching. === linbox-1.1.6.p6 (Simon King, December 10th, 2011) === * #12131: Use --libdir, to make the package work on openSUSE. === linbox-1.1.6.p5 (Martin Albrecht, October 10th, 2011) === * removed spkg-rebuild * removed spkg-debian and the dist directory * removed "linbox" from .hgignore * added patch for file file patches/commentator.C === linbox-1.1.6.p4 (Martin Albrecht, August 23rd, 2011) === * add NonZeroRandIter to modular-float.h (fixed in 1.1.7) === linbox-1.1.6.p3 (Jaap Spies, Jan 25th, 2010) === === linbox-1.1.6.p2 (William Stein, ?) === * ???? === linbox-1.1.6.p1 (William Stein, Sept 21, 2009) === * Use systemwide lapack on windows. === linbox-1.1.6.p0 (Mike Hansen, June 20th, 2008) === * Applied Peter Jeremy's FreeBSD fix at #5870. === linbox-1.1.6 (Clement Pernet, Sept 18th, 2008) === * Upgrade to 1.1.6 release upstream * including the fixes of bugs related to cygwin (gcc-3.4, linking parameter order,...) === linbox-1.1.6rc1 (Clement Pernet, Aug 12th, 2008) === * Fix bug in Charpoly and revert to the "good" algorithm.
