== Special Update/Build Instructions ==
TODO:
- spkg-check is disabled for now, should work in the next release
after 1.3.2.
- Check whether `make fullcheck` works/builds, is worth running, and doesn't
take ages. (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.
