Re: Error during the complitation (make) on WSL

[Kwankyu Lee]

Hi,

Here is a simplified guide:

https://github.com/sagemath/sage/pull/38659

Not sure if this would be helpful to your case. Any comments are welcome.

Please start with https://doc-pr-38659--sagemath.netlify.app/html/en/installation/troubles

[Dima Pasechnik]

Please post logs/install.log and logs/pkgs/giac-*.log
In the latter we'd be able to see the details.

Dima

Dima,

Checking more why this error, maybe that helps a little bit:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Checking whether SageMath should install SPKG giac...
checking whether any of pari is installed as or will be installed as SPKG... no
checking for giac >= 1.9.0, <= 1.9.999... /usr/bin/giac
checking for giac/giac.h... yes
checking for library containing ConvertUTF16toUTF8... -lgiac
configure: will use system package and not install SPKG giac
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Where on my Debian like system (Kali) /usr/bin/giac is provided by
xcas and giac.h provided by libgiac-dev.
I just check with 'dpkg -S ...'.

Regards,

- Greg

Sure. However,here the problem is probably related to most WSL users
sticking to the default for WSL Ubuntu LTS distro,
which is likely to be 22.04, carrying giac 1.7, too old for Sage.

So they'd need (i.e. Sage needs) to build giac from source, and this
is not very easy.

Well, if one removes the system's giac, this should be pretty easy, shouldn't it?  (building giac 1.9 within Ubuntu 22.04 does not cause any trouble). For instance, you should remove the Ubuntu's giac package (libgiac-dev, I guess) from your system and rerun Sage's configure script to force the build of giac 1.9 during Sage's install. See e.g. 

https://sagemanifolds.obspm.fr/install_ubuntu.html

for details.
