MAXIMA.APP
===========
Quick instructions for building a Maxima.app on Mac OS X.
Platypus
---------
The package is built with the Platypus application. Install Platypus
from http://sveinbjorn.org/platypus. You also need to install the
command line tools (start the Platypus application and install command
line tools from the Preferences dialog).
Maxima.app
-----------
The default configuration uses sbcl which is installed as
/usr/local/bin/sbcl, but other lisps can be used too. It creates a
Maxima.app on the Desktop.
To create Maxima.app with default settings execute
make -f macosx/Makefile
To use a different lisp and set the version execute
make -f macosx/Makefile VERSION=5.24.0 LISP_NAME=cmucl \
LISP_PROGRAM=/usr/local/bin/lisp
Maxima will be configured with correct options, built and installed
into Maxima.app. Some parts of Maxima.app are created with Platypus.
Running Maxima
---------------
Double-cliking Maxima.app starts maxima in a new Terminal window.
To run maxima from Terminal, execute
Maxima.app/Contents/Resources/maxima.sh
Creating a .dmg file with maxima and wxMaxima
---------------------------------------------
- Open the Disk Utility
- Create a new Disk Image (read/write; fixed size and big enough for maxima and
wxmaxima. If there is empty space at the end of the image that is fine: After
compressing the image it won't use up much disk space any more)
- Double-click on it and open the newly-mounted .dmg in the Finder.
- Move maxima and wxMaxima into the finder window.
- In case that the gnuplot project doesn't build a gnuplot image in a format we
can include besides maxima and wxMaxima a suitable gnuplot may be found at
http://ricardo.ecn.wfu.edu/pub/gnuplot.
- Add "How to install.rtf" to the image.
- Create a symlink to /Applications in the folder containing the three
applications
- Switch the window to icon view and arrange icons as needed.
- Go to the "view options" and add a maxima Logo as the background
- re-enter the Disk Utility
- return to the Disk Utility, right-click on the .dmg disk image
and select "Convert to read-only".
- Done.
