#48 Compile to *.o does not work

[Anonymous]

1.
I use the Windows-distribution from Maxima-Homepage.
2.
PROBLEM: I tried to compile files within maxima,
using some "good" files in
the share directory. Here is an example with Maxima
output:

(C6) compile_file
("c:/maxima/maxima/share/newton.mc", "newton.fas");

Translation begun on
#pc:/maxima/maxima/share/newton.mc.
Compiling c:/maxima/maxima/share/newton.LISP.
End of Pass 1.
End of Pass 2.
Your C compiler failed to compile the intermediate
file.
(D6) [c:/maxima/maxima/share/newton.mc,
c:/maxima/maxima/share/newton.LISP,
c:/maxima/maxima/share/newton.UNLISP,
#pc:/maxima/maxima/share/newton.o]

I could not compile any file; a translation to *.lisp
was o.k., but in no case
*.o was created (to be precise: I found an a.o with 0
bytes in \maxima\gcc\bin]
).

I think this is an error with GCL (I assume that's what
you're using, but you don't say). Can your GCL compile up
any Lisp files? My Sparc GCL 2.4.0 can no longer compile
files at all, and I don't know why.

I don't observe this problem using Windows Maxima 5.9.3 /
gcl 2.6.7. Closing this report as "works for me".
