Hi, I'm trying to compile gnu scientific library (gsl) v.1.7 with dcm++, and
after a lot of work I'm near the end of this task. This is a part of a  project
that aim to compile with dmc++ the following libraries: atlas (cblas), clapack,
and gsl.
In fact, I think that dmc++ is well suited for numerical computating, but it
still misses the ports for this famous libraries.
I have spent a lot of hours on this project, and i will write a tutorial and
upload the relevant files when the project will be finished.
I still have some problem compiling gsl:
1) I need to configure by hand config.h. I examined the headers in dm\include,
and i ended up with this config.h file:

****************************
First of all, someone that is more expert than myself should check if eveything
is correct.
I have two problems:
First, if i set #define HAVE_DECL_ACOSH 1, #define HAVE_DECL_ASINH 1, #define
HAVE_DECL_ATANH 1 (as i should, i see this functions are definied in the headers
in dm\include) i get the following error:
out\libgsl.lib(math)
Error 42: Symbol undefined _atanh
I dont' understand why is it searching for _atnah and not atanh
Second, if i set the inlining as indicated (see the 3 inline macros, nothing
changes if i change HIDE_INLINE_STATIC value), i get the following error:
extern inline double gls_pow_2(const double x);
error: storage class is illgal in this contex
here is header file:

*****************
The other problem is concerning the function randomize in test_heapsort.c:
Error: 'randomize' was previosuly declared as something else
It was declared as: void C func(void)
It is now declared as: void C func (double*,unsigned )
I think the problem is that this function is defined in the dm\include heareds.
Is there an easy way to solve this out? Maybe using undef in config.h?

I know that checking the config.h file is a long task, but if somone could help
me out with this, i will be very near to the end of this work.
Only 3 of all the tests of the gsl still fails: fft, rng, and sort.
Thank you in advance for any help!

Best Regards
Stefano
