WXMAXIMA
=========
wxMaxima is an interface for the computer algebra system maxima. For
more information about maxima, go to
http://maxima.sourceforge.net/
wxMaxima can be found at
http://wxmaxima.sourceforge.net/
wxMaxima uses wxWidgets and runs natively on Linux and Windows. It
provides nicely formatted display of maxima output.
wxMaxima requires maxima version 5.11.0.
LICENCE
========
wxMaxima is licenced under GPL. See the file COPYING.
INSTALLATION
=============
BINARY INSTALLATION
--------------------
Binaries for Linux and Windows are provided at wxMaxima homepage.
Windows binaries come with an installer. You should install wxMaxima
in a subdirectory of maxima installation directory (see section
CONFIGURATION). The Linux rpm is compiled on Fedora Core 5. Binaries
for some other distributions are contributed by wxMaxima users and are
available from the download section of wxMaxima homepage.
SOURCE INSTALLATION
--------------------
** Linux
Download and install wxWidgets library from
http://www.wxwidgets.org/
Go to the source directory and do
./configure
make
make install
wxMaxima also requires libxml2 to be installed on your system. libxml2
comes with most distributions, make sure you have the development
packages installed.
** Windows
I build the windows binaries using Dev-CPP. Dev-CPP can be downloaded
from
http://www.bloodshed.net
You will also need to install the wxWidgets and libxml2 devpacks (and
their dependencies), which can also be found at the web-page. In
Dev-CPP create a new wxWidgets project, add libxml2 and other required
libraries to the project and import all the sources of wxMaxima.
** MacOS
Support for MacOS is experimental. To build wxMaxima first make sure
you have libxml2 and wxWidgets (it is possible that the static build
is required) installed on your system. Then build wxMaxima with
./configure --with-wx-config=<path to your wx-config>
make
make wxMaxima.app
This should create a working wxMaxima.app. This has been tested with
wxWidgets version 2.6.2.
** Building from CVS (Linux)
To build wxMaxima from CVS, first checkout the CVS tree. For details
see
http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=126731
Then build wxMaxima with
./bootstrap
./configure
make
cd locales
make allmo
cd ..
make install
CONFIGURATION
==============
** Linux
wxMaxima does not need any configuration if maxima is in your path. If
not, configure wxMaxima with Maxima->Configure.
** Windows
To automatically configure wxMaxima, wxMaxima must be installed in a
subdirectory of maxima installation directory. For example:
maxima installation: C:\Program Files\maxima-5.11.0
wxMaxima installation: C:\Program Files\maxima-5.11.0\wxMaxima
If you install in some other directory, you must configure wxMaxima
with Maxima->Configure.
PRINTING
=========
** Linux
The default Postscript driver used for printing on Linux can not print
wxMaxima session properly (it has problems in finding out how much
space is needed to print a string).
Starting with version 2.5.4 wxGTK can be compiled with support for
libgnomeprint (and libgnomeprintui) which has much better support for
printing. Using this driver, wxMaxima can print correctly. So printing
on Linux is only available if wxGTK has been compiled with support for
libgnomeprint and libgnomeprint is found when wxMaxima is started.
UPDATING
=========
** Linux
When you update maxima or wxMaxima, you should delete the file
.wxMaxima in your home directory.
** Windows
To update maxima or wxMaxima, you should:
- uninstall wxMaxima
- uninstall maxima (if updating maxima)
- install maxima (if updating maxima)
- install wxMaxima (in a subdirectory of maxima, see section CONFIGURATION)
