Live and learn...
> - reviving XMaxima,
I just realised after some input from Dave Billinghurst and an experiment
that all I had to do to make XMaxima work (at a Cygwin prompt) was:
export MAXIMA_DIRECTORY="c:/cvs/maxima-pre59"
./bin/xmaxima
I had previously thought that this would require a build of gcl-tk, which
meant working around the "fork()" in "gcl-tk/guis.c". This means that a
Mingw32 xmaxima executable will just need to be built from the xmaxima
script using freewrap as previosly done by Dave- what a relief!
Cheers
