I made two (new-style) packages for latest saclib and qepcad, see the branch. According to saclib2.2.6/sysdep, this should build on linuxX86, linuxX86_64, macosX86, macosX86_64, solarisSparc. The packages work well on my Debian/jessie/65bits. Let's see if you can let it work on mac (i cannot test myself). I updated instructions on the ticket description.

New commits:

​3b5ecbf#10224 : saclib 2.2.6 package.
​5fc251e#10224 : qepcad B.1.69 package.

    5 Chris Brown says "Version 1.54 adds portability to 64-bit systems.  Right now, I can only verify that it compiles and runs properly on 64-bit Ubuntu ... hopefully it's also OK on other 64-bit linux distros." I have built it outside of sage on 64 bit and 32 bit Debian without major difficulty.
     7Copy both tarballs into your `$SAGE_ROOT/upstream` directory and rename `saclib2.2.6.tar.gz` to `saclib-2.2.6.tar.gz`

    7 Also, I think there could be some improvements to the QEPCAD interface, but it would probably be better for me to open separate tickets and base them on the updated spkg.

    13 I have never made a spkg before, but it seems to build (on my machine) and run a few examples (whereas the existing spkg segfaulted). If someone wants to patch it further and upload it to the sage website, that would be good.

    15 QEPCAD B and SACLIB now build on 64 bit machines, so I put the pristine sources into the src/ directory. I dropped all of Carl Witty's patches but I revived two of them to link against ncurses. Possibly Carl's floating point exception patch to SACLIB should be rebased too, but I couldn't tell if that was just another bitness issue so cc'd.

    1712Another thing that would be good to include is Chris Brown's SLFQ program

    2116which calls QEPCAD B. I have gotten SLFQ to build outside of sage with a couple of patches, but I have not actually gotten it to work yet.
