Make check fails on Alpha

Make check fails on Alpha

[Slaven Peles]

Hi,

I compiled GSL 1.2 on Compaq Alpha with:
    CC=cc ./configure
    make CFLAGS="-std"
Compiler I used identifies itself as:
    Compaq C V6.3-025 on Compaq Tru64 UNIX V5.1 (Rev. 732)
    Compiler Driver V6.3-026 (sys) cc Driver
Make check fails for gsl_isnan, gsl_isinf and gsl_finite functions. The make 
check output is below. I haven't found anything about this problem in the 
installation notes. If anyone successfully compiled and checked GSL on Alpha 
please let me know.

Regards,
Slaven

Thanks for the bug report. Those tests require correct IEEE arithmetic
for infinities. Check the manpage for cc for any options related to
IEEE conformance.

I wouldn't go that far to call it a bug ;-). Following your advice I 
compiled GSL with option -ieee, and everything worked fine, all checks 
passed. So the right way to compile GSL on Alpha with Compaq C compiler 
(in bash) would be:
     CC=cc ./configure
     make CFLAGS="-std -ieee"


Cheers,
