Edit detail for #123 Compile modified spad file revision 1 of 1

changed:
-
Is it possible to compile modified spad file.
If I modify fraction.spad ( domain fraction) 
in original source directory,
It compiles only the QuotientField category.

You have not provided enough information to know what you
might be doing wrong, but it is certainly possible. For
example in Axiom for Windows version 0.1.4 (see AxiomDownload)
you can do the following::

  )cd "C:/Program files/axiom/mnt/windows/src/algebra"
  )sys copy fraction.spad my_fraction.spad
  )edit my_fraction.spad
    ... make the change to domain Fraction, etc.
  )compile my_fraction.spad

All of the categories and domains defined in the modified
file my_fraction.spad, including the domain Fraction will
be re-compiled. But watch for error message and re-edit
and compile the file again if you make a mistake.

You will be able to access the modified domains and
categories later in this same Axiom session. If you exit
Axiom and then want to use the new version of the domain
Fraction in a new session without re-compiling it, you
can use the following commands::

  )cd "C:/Program files/axiom/mnt/windows/src/algebra"
  )library FRAC

If you are using the linux version of Axiom, the procedure
is similar (only the file names and the copy command change).

If this does not work, please provide more details about
exactly what you are doing.

Message-ID: <20050313221632-0600@page.axiom-developer.org>

I recompile all axiom (in axiom directory I do a make).
If I modify interpreter it's correctly recompiled but not
the modified algebra file (domain ???).

Subject: you  must edit the file fraction.spad.pamphlet
Message-ID: <20050313223619-0600@page.axiom-developer.org>

If you are re-building all of axiom using 'make', then you must
change only to the *.pamphlet files. All the other files are
generated from these files. You will find the algebra pamphlet
files in 'axiom--main--1\src\algebra'.

Pamphlet files contain both the spad program code and its
documentation (i.e. in literate programming style). If you
intend to submit patches for inclusion in a new release
of Axiom, please add some documentation about the change you
are making. And if possible, expand the existing documentation
(if any) where it is missing or incorrect.

Sorry I work on pamphlet file.
In 'int' directory, the file FRAC.spad is correctly generated but not compiled.
For example add:
  print("I am here"::OutputForm)$Lisp
somewhere in domain fraction (file: fraction.spad.pamphlet)

Message-ID: <20050314124913-0600@page.axiom-developer.org>

What version of Axiom source are you using? Did you get the
most recent source from the February CVS or prior? Or did you
get it from arch (tla)? If from arch, what is patch level?

If you delete int/algebra/FRAC.NRLIB/code.lsp and then re-run
Axiom 'make' is the domain properly compiled?

If I delete int/algebra/FRAC.NRLIB/code.lsp the domain is not recompiled.
Its the same for int/algebra/FRAC.NRLIB/code.o.
That works if I remove mnt/linux/algebra/FRAC.o, int/algebra/FRAC.NRLIB/code.o and int/algebra/FRAC.spad.
make : GNU Make 3.80
PS: Sometimes "Loading /usr/local/axiom/mnt/linux/algebra/FRAC.o" is printed.

Why is it in status 'testing' ?
The Makefile from cvs has been changed?
