I finally got a success in compiling maxima 5.9.0rc1
with the tarball of gcl 2.4.3 in Linux Mandrake 8.2
Suggestions or remarks:
1. some readme file should tell that
autoconf >= 2.52
automake >= 1.6
are necessary
(I had a lot of problems while intalling
them in Mandrake 8.2. It should not be an
issue with Mandrake 9 since the rpms will
be present).
2. while lauching maxima from xemacs via
tools -> shell -> maxima
i get constantly ^M and a copy of the Cn.
example : instead of
(C2)
i get
(C2)^M(C2)
It's not a big problem, but probably not what
Jim wants.
3. but maxima works fine when launched from within TeXmacs
1.0.0.15
4. the trick that was discussed several months
ago (when Bill was alive) to enable more memory
with gcl seems not to work with gcl 2.4.3
and maxima i.e.
./configure --enable-maxpages=256*1024
while compiling gcl
and an init.lsp with some orders in the local directory
(btw I don't know if it _really_ worked with 2.3.8 ;-)
Best regards.
