The aim is to keep the size around that of Sage, 325 MB tarball with all |
| 24 |
sources [1] or 469 MB lzma 64-bit linux binary. This is already |
| 25 |
difficult, including the toolchain would make it impossible. |

Sage distributes g95 and gfortran binaries for OSX. I tried to use a g95 |
| 32 |
binary on the 10.5 PPC box mentioned above. It insisted on using |
| 33 |
libtool installed on the host which was too old and couldn't handle |
| 34 |
some of the options g95 gave. I might have to give gcc-apple a try |
| 35 |
after all. |
