Phil,
Hello all,
I'm finding that the polyml source RPM unpacks certain files but doesn't build. I have (RedHat) Fedora Core 1. The contents of my terminal is below. In short: poly wasn't installed initially and the rpm command put files in /usr/src/redhat/{SOURCES, SPECS} but didn't build anything. (rpm took about 0.5s) Does anyone have any ideas?
I don't really know, because I downloaded the source tarballs from the Poly/ML web site not the RPM, but my experience with Linux sources is that installing source RPMs does just put tarballs into the /usr/src/ directory and doesn't build anything - so the Poly/ML source RPM is uniform with that.\
Will building the source RPM still include XMotif support if that's installed on my machine?
Thanks, Phil.

If you unpack it and go into the driver directory and follow the instructions it should be reasonably obvious at the configure stage whether or not it's found X Windows and Motif. However, you need to recompile the compiiler as well as the driver program I believe. The instructions in the FAQ on the web site worked fine for me.
[root@pclayton SRPMS]# ls /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/ polyml-4-1-3.spec
I don't know anything about this. What I'd be expecting to find is the ML code of the compiler in a tarball that unpacks into a directory called mlsource.
Hope that helps!
Rob.
